Chicago, Illinois, a bastion of Democrat gun-control laws had 27 shootings and 7 deaths over the Christmas weekend. If gun-control works, why so much violence in a city under Democrat control?
IMO, it's because gun-control is as effective as controlling violence as banning 36 oz soda drinks is in controlling obesity.

At least 27 people were shot, seven fatally, in a 48-hour period in Chicago over Christmas weekend, according to the Chicago Police Department. It was the latest bloody chapter in a city besieged by gun violence.
Homicides and shootings, already an all-too-common hazard in the city, have skyrocketed since last year, when the numbers were already high. The rise in violence is fueled in part by gangs, whose disagreements range from neighborhood turf wars to disputes over girlfriends. The conflicts often escalate quickly to gunfire.
