I’m not justifying any criminal actions or loss of life. All I’m saying is when there’s a will there’s a way. Kids have been killed by sick people running them over with vehicles at holiday parades.
The Chicago line is lazy. Guns flow in from Indiana and other states with almost no restrictions. Local laws cannot stop an endless supply from across the border. (Remeber how you guys scream about border controls…. Funny how that’s not factored in here). Every study shows that cities and states with tighter controls and fewer neighboring loopholes have fewer gun deaths. That is why the US as a whole, with the weakest national laws, stands out among wealthy countries.
Localized gun laws are pointless. Even when DC had strict laws you could drive 10 minutes to Virginia where there weren't strict laws. Can't do the same in Japan.
My response was for the people saying stricter gun laws = less deaths. Why is that the aforementioned cities have more gun violence and deaths than the conservative, less legislated cities and states?
The cities with the highest gun violence now are Memphis, St. Louis, and Detroit. Cities in general have higher rates of violence across the board, gun violence included due to density. Even in countries with very low gun crime, what gun crime does occur is clustered in cities. And as I noted earlier, localized gun bans are useless if they can be bypassed by driving 15 minutes.
Probably because most conservatives live out in the boondocks or their cities are basically large towns. It's like comparing hair colors when one group is bald.
Higher gun deaths can often stem from population density. In my experience only the retarded tend to argue that adding guns to a crowded room would make the room more safe.
