Here you go....a look at why Chicago has so much murder...they don't keep thugs locked up even when they need to be locked up for at least 10 years...
Does Chicago Have The Strictest Gun Laws in the Country? It's Complicated
They're also pushing for legislative changes that will enact harsher sentences for those convicted of gun crimes, particularly repeat offenders. McCarthy told aldermen the current system is equivalent to a "catch and release" program when it comes to those facing gun charges.
From Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, there have been 2,477 people arrested on gun charges, Guglielmi said. Of those, more than 600 had been arrested before on weapons charges.
Here's a breakdown:
• Two arrested had five prior arrests on weapons charges
• Six had four priors
• 28 had three priors
• 132 had two priors
• 460 had one prior

"The criminal justice system has to step up," Guglielmi said. Chicago should "have zero tolerance on gun crime. If an individual has documented criminal history, especially a felon, this individual should not be out in society walking around with a gun."
Can anyone explain why felons caught with illegal guns have been rereleased onto Chicago streets over and over again? And then please explain how normal, law abiding gun owners are the problem....
