He's talking about that Chicago they speak of in conservative talk show radio land. It's between CooCooville and FoxNewsastan.

Chicago DID have a handgun ban, for 20 years, and yet it was and is the murder capital of the world

The OP said how is the ban working out for Chicago. Working implies present not past.

Besides, shotguns and rifles were legal and remain legal, so there goes his claim that All weapons are banned in Chicago

Chicago isn't the murder capital of the world, it's not even the murder capital of the US or even the MidWest

Try again

What is the primary firearm used in Chicago murders where a gun was used? A handgun, now and when there was a ban. This goes to show that the ban had no positive effect. Try again....

Ok, let me break it down for you again.

The OP claimed that all weapons were banned in Chicago. You claimed that Chicago is the murder capital of the world.

Guns are not banned in Chicago and Chicago is not the murder capital of the world, the US, or even the midwest.

Understand??? Can someone explain this to the member???

I GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.............. but even if chi.............. ah just forget it, there is no talking to some of you people. Hey mods, shut the thread down because, there isn't any outright ban on firearms in Chicago and the OP claimed there was, so according to savoir faire, since there isn't an outright ban, the thread is over and nothing else can be discussed.

savoir faire is right, when a threads basis is proven false it should be closed

Well, I'm not interested.
Of course you're not. When have liberals ever been interested in preserving the rights guaranteed by the Constitution?

Why should responsible law-abiding people lose any rights over "thugs," as you put it?
Your right. Let's make it about criminals and not about race.
