This is how gun control works in Chicago

I copied this from another forum.




Hey Choir, more ammo:

... in Chicago, Illinois.

Hmmmm.... why do you suppose we never hear about this on the evening news???
446 school age children shot in Chicago in 2012 The city with the strongest gun laws in country – media silent!.

The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media. In Chicago, there have been 446 school age children shot in the leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel and that produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc.
62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago since the end of 2012.

So, why isn’t this news worthy? Is it because it would embarrass those anti second amendment nuts who brag about Chicago ’s tough gun laws? Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media doesn’t want to show Chicago in a bad light? Amazingly, no Obama crocodile tears either.

For those of you have not gotten the point of this post yet, it’s to make the point about gun laws. No matter how tough the gun laws are, the crazed, nut jobs will find a way to get them and if they so chose, use them. No draconian law can stop this, no matter how well intentioned the law is, or if it’s just about leftists grabbing power from citizens and taking away their constitutional rights.

Wow, is Illinois and Chicago great or what?
Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago?

There were 221 killed in Afghanistan, fewer than were killed in Chicago AND Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the big house (Prison). Of course, he was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago. That is because he is fighting being sent to...that's right, the big house.

It's political hipe.. I wont get into a race issue about children being killed by gun violence (none what so ever diserve being assaulted by any weapon)   But let me say this.. it took a mass shooting in a prodomitaly white school for the president to take action (as he has done) on gun control..(apelling to the masses? maybe??) The numbers above speek for themself.. Chicago is leading the way, but look at Memphis.. Its no better!! Now lets do the math on who is killing who???

Embarrassed to say that I am from Illinois.....Southern Illinois. Fortunately Southern Illinois is far different then our friends in the northern part of the state.

might not want to say TOO much about the sales tax, cough.

[Mike.357]

the sales tax is Chicago tax, it is an add on iirc.

 

And where are they getting bullets to do all this killing?

[JWC]

That's where the damn .22lr ammo is going.

[Spiffy]

It's because all those "illegal" guns coming in by droves from the outside.

I believe they have a state income tax too don't they?

The best argument I heard on that claim was when Juan Williams said it about the gun problem in D.C. He claimed it was caused by guns coming in from Virginia. Mary Katherine Ham said, "by your logic, Juan, Virginia should have an even bigger gun problem because they have their own guns, plus they're supplying D.C., so why aren't there more murders there?" Nice spanking.

It doesn't fit the agenda of the media to publish stories like that.
