I only hear the whine of a nanny mayor.

Whose police department just nailed a major drug-running operation.

Straw purchases? No problem. Let's not punish law-abiding gun owners to keep hundreds of guns out of the hands of criminals. It's just not worth it.

You've tried twice now with strawmen.

In before need for national ban "for the children" and "what are you going to do to prevent guns from coming up from VA and NC?"

I can always count on Little Thing to make my point.

Guns for all! Even for criminals! Because guns don't kill people, people kill people! Oh, wait ... criminals are, um, people ...

Yep, let's not do anything about criminal gangs but about guns themselves. I guess it would be racist to break up the gangs and charge them under RICO laws.

Yep, let's just hand over the guns to the criminal gangs, because it's in the 2nd Amendment.

Do you actually think the two things are mutually exclusive?

Lots of gun deaths there as well.

Now, now. Let's remember that neither NYC or Chicago is in the top ten for gun homicides in the U.S.

I think Chicago still holds the nation's record for the most illegal gun confiscations in a single night.

And just for kicks, guns are also legal in Chicago.
