Chicago gun crime is Indiana's fault

[TheBigTim]

They finally solved the problem of gun crime in Chicago… It’s because of Indiana. We Hoosiers are just too lax on our gun laws and that’s why Chicago’s laws aren't working.

Is Gun Control Coming to a State Near You? - Bloomberg

"Papachristos concurs. "I did work on Chicago's gun laws, and one reason why they didn't work is because of other states' lax laws," he said. Chicagoans are only a few highway exits from Indiana, where gun laws are far more lax. The distance isn't a sufficient barrier for gun crime, no matter how strict Chicago's laws”


This is propaganda BS at its finest!

Believe me when i say **** Chicago.

 

[Evermoore]

Believe me when i say **** Chicago.

Believe me sir.. you are correct!!

 

[digitalphoenix]

Is that why our gun crime is lower than Illinois?

 

[littletommy]

Yeah, I've heard this BS before. On a guitar forum I used to frequent, some douche bag, who happens to be a prosecuting attorney in Florida, told me that us Hoosiers are the reason for Chicagos problems.

And, as others have stated, **** Chicago!

I had a buddy who lived by Peoria. He had a great idea. Line Cook county with bull dozers and start pushing! Seems mst of Illinois' crap comes from Cook County(i.e. Chicago).

Blah blah blah blah.

Believe me when i say **** Chicago.

Not even with someone else's ...

According to the Chicago Tribune a police lab did a study of the guns confiscated from criminals. 18% came from Indiana. Over 9% came from Mississippi. The head of the lab stressed that criminals often get guns by stealing them. Straw purchases, which we all know are of little interest to the Obama administration, also play a large part.

Even considering that the study showed that the guns came from every State, in the end the majority of Chicago criminals get their guns from sources in Illinois.

Must be because we live so close to Chicago.

 

[actaeon277]

Right. So then whh aren't the lazy criminals committing the crimes here.

And if guns can be gotten from another state, and we get national gun control, then can't guns be smuggled from another country? (Rhetorical)

 

[MrCooper]

Can we just give the state of Illinois to Canada?

 

[armedindy]

i thought they said most of em came from mississippi or somethin...

18% Indiana. 9% Mississippi. (Chicago Tribune article source.) The article also stated the guns were often stolen or from Straw buys.

 

[KLB]

Most of the guns came from Illinois.

Yeah Chicago likes to blame Indiana for its crime problem. It's easier to blame someone else than admit you're at fault.

I think we should cut around the Illinois border on all sides and ship it to Antarctica. Don't ask me how because I don't know.

 

[edporch]

I'd be shocked if the tyrants who run the "Chicago Machine" didn't blame somebody else.

Chicago gun control is typical of a city that has a tradition of organized crime infiltration.
DISARMING the masses makes things easier for them.

So according to their "logic":

Indiana has lax gun laws. That makes us dangerous & lawless people in their twisted minds.

So if we are awash with so many guns, then shouldn't the number of homicides, gun crimes in Indiana be many times higher than Chicago's???

Amen. I am surprised they haven't blamed their crime rate on Bush. Or maybe they did and I missed it. Criminals who don't give a rat's *** about the law get guns illegally and kill those who have no guns because they respect the law. What's wrong with this picture?

This^^^^

There was a Thread posted a few months back about this very subject, and in that link it stated that MOST of the guns were coming from Suburbs of Chicago and not Indiana or any other surrounding States.

Chicago - Insane, corrupt, giant money drain on taxpayers.

Illinois - Great midwest state, great people in most of the state, giant festered urban pimple on its arse.
