It wasn't the guns. They all died of COVID.

FTA: The city plans to deploy 1,200 extra officers over the Fourth of July holiday weekend,
Bwahahahahahahhahahahaha
Riiiiiiight - Where are you going to find 1200 people who are willing to put on the uniform only to have management and city officials arrest and charge them with faux/politically hyped charges when they actually do something.
There's NO Way (unless they go on duty, leave the briefing room, turn off their communications with the dispatcher and spend eight hours reading a book behind a dumpster somewhere they can't be found)
If you, as a LE Officer, can't trust management to back you, there's no upside to enforcing the laws.

So suddenly more police is the solution? I thought getting rid of the police is the solution?
Make up your mind, fools.

In older times, her constituents were known to use knives. In my otherwise civilized home town, the City emergency hospital doctor rode ambulance calls to their part of town starting every Friday night, “after they’d had a few drinks and began fighting, they’d start cutting each other up...”...

Guns don't kill people, bullets do! The bullet doesn't know what kind of gun it came from either. A black market, Saturday night special will launch a bullet just like an ''assault weapon.''
Neither the gun, nor the bullet will harm anyone without a human. Lori, you need to look at the humans, not the guns!

Chicago has some of the most unconstitutional gun laws in the country. Lightfoot is proving that gun control does not reduce crime. Do her Leftist followers think the guns shoot themselves?

BeetleJuice, like Tiny Dancer before her, just cannot admit that the fault lies on their own incompetence and inability to do a thing about the violence.

All those damn guns roaming the streets pulling their triggers killing black people. Those guns must be white.

What did you expect. Its a BLM kind of town. BLM says black lives matter. Its just that Chicago hasn't gotten the message yet. Then again, neither has the NFL or the NBA.

Ok, Mayor - how many of those guns are legal? If you want to show that you are going to clamp down on gun violence start raiding those neighborhoods with all of the shootings. You know exactly where they are. Implement "stop and frisk" in all areas. You would see the crime stats plummet. Perhaps these criminals should show up in your neighborhood - seems like mayors only fight crime when it's in their own backyards.

I have yet in my life seen any one of my guns unlock themselves from the safe, load themselves, aim at and shoot anything on their own volition...
I guess they must have some sort of 'magic' self operating guns in Chicago.

Yup, like the gun have a mind of its own. It will load the bullets on its own and discharge at will. Damn guns!

Guns ? What guns ? Best I can remember, guns were outlawed in Chicago around 1980. After all these years, and all these homicides, she noticed people were getting shot? Looking for money?
