Gee, get rid of guns and the bad guys won't be able to get them. Hmmmm. You know.....perhaps we should do that with recreational narcotics.
Hmmm... not really the same thing. Nobody is really hurt by drugs but the people who take them. Guns, on the other hand, pose a danger whether we own one or not. That's why gun bans work in Europe just fine. No one wants to live next to a gun nut, and they'll happily turn them in.
Gun nuts as you call them are generally the most law abiding citizens our country has. They collect guns, buy and sell them, most have a CCW I'm sure. Your holiday weekend had 24 shootings resulting in 7 deaths. Do you think those were gun nuts that did the shootings? But you didn't think much about that, did you? After all, this is very common in Chicago. You are callous to it by now. But if one person killed 7 people and injured 14 others, you'd be screaming how the problem is the guy was a gun nut.
Guy, on any given day in America, 100 people are killed with guns. Not sure why you want to keep signaling out Chicago, where we HAD a sensible gun ban and the National Rampage Association got it struck down. So then all these gun stores and CCW shops popped up and the murder rate doubled.
