Even after recent Supreme Court decisions, Chicago still has some of the strictest "gun control" laws in the nation.
How's that working out for them?
Maybe they should enact even more laws restricting the guns of law-abiding people, while the shooters and murderers keep ignoring them. Yeah, that'll work.

Shootings only happen in Liberal cities, almost exclusively Chicago.
Anyone who tells you differently is a Liberal deep cover agent.
Bad things only happen in Liberal cities. Never in Conservative ones, unless Liberals are traveling. Like this actually happened in Chicago, http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/07/05...tival-shooting, but the news agency was told to move the location as part of the conspiracy.

Their murder rate has been cut to half, but I am not here to argue it is because of the gun laws.
Fourth of July weekend toll: 82 shot, 14 of them fatally, in Chicago
At least 82 people were shot during an 84-hour stretch between Thursday and 3:30 a.m. Monday.
It was just one of dozens of shooting scenes across Chicago over the long Fourth of July weekend. In all, at least 82 people were shot, 14 of them fatally, since Thursday afternoon when two woman were shot as they sat outside a two-flat within a block of Garfield Park.
Five of the people were shot by police over 36 hours on Friday and Saturday, including two boys 14 and 16 who were killed when they allegedly refused to drop their guns.
Many of the long weekend's shootings were on the South Side, clustered in the Englewood, Roseland, Gresham and West Pullman neighborhoods that rank among the most violent in the city.
Most shootings are turf battles and drug gang related.
Tough municipal gun control laws aren't effective when surrounded by municipalities with more liberal gun laws.
But, but, but, Chicago is running neck-and-neck with New York and California for the title of most unfriendly to guns venue in the country. How could this happen?
