The highest crime areas in Chicago have some of the lowest percentages of legal gun ownership in the country. Would increasing that percentage help? Perhaps.
Where I live about 90% of households will have a gun inside, the crime rate is minimal and the murder rate is 0. That's not because of guns, it's because of the people that live here.
if liberals would be truthful, then they would take all of the urban centers out of the murder rate equation and recompute.
urban centers tend to be high gun control and democrat ran, hence the higher gun control laws and a higher murder rate.
cities such as detroit and chicago.

That's b/c it has high rates of illegal gun ownership via gangs, who are predominantly the victims and the criminals in the cycle of gun violence.
I have to sadly agree.
If the day comes that the US Supreme Court abolishes/re writes the 2nd amendment then there will only one group to blame, the NRA and the Republican politicians they own for refusing to accept reasonable gun laws.
Think it can't happen? I wouldn't put any money on it.
Still waiting for someone to suggest a sensible gun law. Don't think it will happen.
It is not the future, people are making them as we speak.

If we don't start regulating guns now, 3D printing will only make the current epidemic worse.
Repeat after me "There is nothing I can do to prevent someone from cheaply making a 3D printed gun". Let that sink in for a moment, those are just the facts.
No that's because it's very difficult and expensive to legally obtain a gun in Chicago.
The vast majority of the gun crime in Chicago is gang violence, not home robberies. Gangs already have illegal guns and don't need to get them legally.
You're arguing that an armed society is good for everyone's safety, yet all the Chicago gangs are armed to the teeth. Why hasn't the threat of going up against a bad "guy w/ a gun" curbed the gun violence?

Most of us carry here and there has been one murder in my county in the last seven years.

There is absolutely steps we could take to curb inevitable 3D printed guns, you just don't want anything that even smells like "infringing" on the table.
