It's totally understandable that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is touchy about gun violence in her city. The city is a shooting gallery with citizens little more than clay pigeons.
Last weekend was a typical holiday weekend in Chicago: 7 dead, 41 shot. Lightfoot's answer to the violence? More gun control, of course.
Senator Ted Cruz tweeted a response to that idea: Ted Cruz

Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals—prosecuting & getting them off the street—BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates.
How do you get rid of the black market dudes who are selling their stolen guns out of a van?
You ban guns and the bad guys win BIG.

It's been a long time since Chicago was dropped from my bucket list. I truly wanted to see the Broadcast Museum there. I prefer to live without seeing it. My loss. As an elderly white man, I fear Chicago.

By in large, the Democrat Party is not fit to run a popsicle stand, let alone a large city or state. However, this does not seem to matter in the least to the voters in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the like. They seem to deliberately want a failed city/state and are perfectly content to live with the consequences! Absolute insanity but there you have it.

Only about 15% of gun murders are cleared in Chicago. Statistics given don't show how many times a weapon was transferred or if stolen or lost. They are meaningless.

When history is twisted by educators, when morality is excised from the social conscience, when fathers are missing in family action, nobody is learning anything remotely useful, there are no longer guidelines for behavior, nor respect for law enforcement. What remains is the the gang and depravity. We desperately need to get Donald Trump re elected with a workable and supportive majority to restore sanity to this wayward nation. MAGA, KAG.

I think that it has always been obvious that the black market will take the path of least resistance and today that's Indiana. Indiana could bow to the heavy hand of Lightfoot today and Wisconsin will fill the void tomorrow, rinse and repeat. Eventually you will have a parallel to the drug trade, an even more violent black market feeding the same level of street violence. You cannot invent technology. Laws work on the law-abiding.

The mayor is a classless hag. She was not able to refute anything Cruz said. It was truth. Instead she basically told him to shut up. I don’t think he will.

Tippy-toeing around will not solve the problem, will not even improve it a little bit.

Demoncrats never learn anything from history. What were the lessons of Prohibition? You outlaw something and the criminals step in to fill the void. If there is a market for something, someone will fill it. If it is unlawful, so much the better, because then you can sell for high prices and control the market. The liberal answer to out-of-control gun violence in Chicago? Create a new series on network TV called Chicago PD that praises the honest, hard working police officers of Chicago. They must be doing something wrong, or they never go in to the Black side of town.

Don't get mad at him or us for mocking your leftist failures at governing Mayor. In fact, it seems to me that the numbers have actually gone up under your watch, and are probably going to skyrocket. I figure over 2k dead by NY's day. Clean up your city, or somebody else will come in to do it for you.

Poster #12 is right. www.heyjackass.com tells it like it is. Maybe she doesn't check it out because she can't read. She was probably an honor roll student in one of Chicagos fine schools, so that's a distinct possibility!

The Left's objective is Totalitarianism, and first step on that path is disarming the honest citizens.
So, the Left pushes more and more oppressive 'Gun Control', which has the effect of disarming the honest citizens, while not affecting the Thugs, who don't care a rat's rear end about the Laws anyway.
To reduce the crime rate, what they need is not Gun Control, but THUG Control.
The fault is not the Police, it is the city Prosecutors and Administration.
