ok Dick if those two states are the issue why don't those two states have the murder rate as Chicago?

I would have to guess either the racial and political demographics of Chicago or more likely, both Indiana and Mississippi both have Republican Governors.

I believe it's a combination of all three
 
Here is a defining factor of left-wing ideology, or as I call it Toddlerism.

Toddler never take responsibility. They blame others. Socialism universally is about blame shifting. They constantly blame everyone else for the failures of their policies.
Old dick has been placed in a hard spot he can't attack Chicago's gun laws without hitting the whole antigun movement and could possibly cost him campaign contributions
 
Any criminal worth his salt will commit his murders in Illinois. No electric chair.

They have it in Mississippi and Indiana.

One problem with that logic, is that simply having the electric chair, doesn't matter if you don't ever use it, or if you take 3 decades to enforce it.

The last execution in Ohio (that I know of) was Robert J. Van Hook. Hook was executed in 2018, for a murder in 1985. Think about that... 33 years later, justice is finally done. That's not even true... if you have to wait 33 years... then justice was not done.

That is too long.

The Bible even warns about this.

Ecclesiastes 8:11
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

This is what cracks me up when people say "see?! The death penalty isn't a deterrent!" well yeah, if you wait 33 years to carry out justice, it won't be a deterrent. The Bible is only 2,000 years old, and is proven true to this very day.
 
Chicago doesn't have a gun problem, they have a Democrat problem.
agreed and they have a mayor who hates the constitution. Didn't she take the oath to defend the Constitution? Wonder why a senator that represents her state hasn't come out and called for her removal from office?

Chicago doesn't have a Democrat problem... they have a porch-monkey problem...
please leave your racism at the post reply button it's not necessary to show it and weakens our position
Many Black Americans are law-abiding citizens some are part of my family

Well, because...those states (and others) are where most of the guns used in Chicago violence come from.
You don't think like some right wingers do that there are gang members down in their basements using their tool and die machines to smith weapons do you? :)
Most of the guns are purchased out of state by straw buyers and then funneled into the city. This has been researched adnauseum.
The gun zealots use the violence in Chicago as a scapegoat to point the finger at people of color. When the question they should be asking is, "Where do the guns come from?".

again why doesn't Indiana have the same problem Chicago has?
However, you can't cross state lines and purchase a firearm legally
and furthermore, no one who can legally buy a gun will purchase one legally to used for criminal intent you dumbass that argument is weak and should be disgraded

If legislation were the problem, wouldn't Mississippi and Indiana have the same level of gun violence?

You think Mississippi would be less violent if they had a city with the size adn poverty of chicago?

Warm weather alone increases murder rate. So all things being equal...You would expect a higher murder rate the farther south you move a theoretical chicago.

And if you just legalized all the markets people have fought over in chicago for a century......Yea you'd probably reduce violence. If drugs, prostitution, and gambling weren't profitable there isn't much left to kill each other over. We've legalized gambling pretty much

Gary Indiana says Indiana wouldn't fair much better than us either.

google gary indiana

they do

In fact it's worse there. Illinois doens't have random cities that are warzones. It's the 3rd largest city in America that became that way.

Never been in the area of Gary, IN have you? Or Indianapolis? Same thing.
Again, to review. Straw buyer purchase or obtain these guns in gun friendly states
and ship them to Chicago. The argument has been researched plenty and you can
find a study with a simple lazy man's Google search.
