For the three year period of January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018 Chicago has had 1991 gun homicides.  This is more killings than in New York City and Los Angeles, combined.

Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.

So why is this happening? Because bad guys don’t obey the laws and keep their guns. Only the people who do obey the laws have been disarmed. No reasonable person could argue that Chicago’s enhanced gun laws work.

Democrats continue to argue for tougher gun regulations. What did Einstein say about trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

Guns are not evil. Guns can’t think. Guns don’t have personalities or bad desires. Guns are tools. When used legally, guns are rescue devices, like fire extinguishers. They save lives. When guns are used illegally, they murder people.

People are the killers. Until folks are willing to stop worrying about offending certain groups and place the blame for gun violence correctly with the offending individuals, where it belongs, the problem will continue.
