Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s shameless scapegoat for rising shootings in Chicago

[DadSmith]

Indiana supplies all the guns to Chicago's criminals don't ya know.

The United States supplies English criminals with all their guns too.

How American Guns Are Fueling U.K. Crime (Published 2020)

Handguns are quietly being smuggled into Britain, despite tough gun-control laws. The police fear that the illegal weapons are contributing to a rise in gang-related crime.

Where Do Guns Used to Commit Shootings in Chicago Come From?

There are no gun shops in Chicago, but the city is inundated with firearms. Police have seized more than 5,600 illegally-possessed guns in Chicago this year alone, including 60 the weekend of August 3-5, when 66 people were shot and 12 killed between Friday evening and Sunday morning. “Getting a...

For "progressives", gun control is much like communism. It works very well; it has just never been carried out correctly.

To be fair, I don't believe there are any in Chicago proper. The ones listed are in suburbs (Riverdale, Linwood, Melrose Park, etc.). IIRC Chicago forced them all to close within city limits.

Do they sell guns, or just provide training?

Edit: I think you are correct. Don't see anything about guns sold. However, Those little suburbs are Chicago just like they are Indianapolis. Cook County is one big city. What's to stop them from driving 10 miles to a gunshop and buying a gun and taking it back to Chicago.

Correct. And we can see that worked REALLY well.

Did you hear the one about 3 hood rats that walked into their LGS to buy some hardware? No, no you didn't.

Chicago Tribune says no gun stores in Chicago too.

The truth — and lies — about Chicago's gun laws

After mass shooting in Las Vegas, Dahleen Glanton writes about Chicago's true gun control problem.

www.chicagotribune.com

"With no gun stores in Chicago and no background check loopholes for private sales, one thing is clear. The guns being used to kill people on the streets aren't originating in Chicago. They're coming from someplace else."

This article is from 2016, but it also claims they have no gun stored, but their ban on them was indeed declared unconstitutional in 2014.

Chicago to get its first gun store

Despite a number of recent court cases invalidating the city's strict gun control laws Chicago still has no gun store or range within the city limits. One man has a plan to change that.

"Despite a number of recent court cases invalidating the city's strict gun control laws, Chicago still has no gun store or range within the city limits. One man has a plan to change that.


Though Chicago eliminated its ban on gun stores in 2014, the strict restrictions they placed on where one could be located has deterred development up to this point. Christopher O'Connor has developed a plan to build both a gun store and range in the city's River West section."

I still haven't been able to find a real straight answer. Seems like I remembered reading about it here on INGO at one time, but that may have been prior to 2014.

So south Chicago isn't Chicago? Riverdale? Aren't they all included in population count? Looks like Chicago itself is all business. Again 10 miles or 10 minutes can get them to a gun shop in the same county.

 

[BigRed]

So.... is the "flood of illegal guns" coming from Indiana or the Chicago "suburbs"?

Telling lies is hard.... much to keep straight.

Your part of the problem if you don't find someone else to cut your hair.
Don't support these idiots!

Says Chicago is 234 Sq miles so they must include the burbs too.

So if you don't live in Chicago itself you don't need a foid? Say you live in a burb of Chicago.

Well I think all of Cook County is considered Chicago, much like all of Marion County is considered Indianapolis, but we have suburbs (Southport, Beech Grove, etc.) that have their own mayors and police forces, etc.. But at least at one time gun shops were indeed banned within Chicago city limits (not necessarily in all of Cook County though). Despite the ban being declared unconstitutional in 2014, it's not clear that they do actually have any functioning gun shops currently because of all the BS restrictions they placed on them.

Look, I'm not defending Lightfoot or Chicago, believe me! I'm just saying that "Chicago has no gun shops" might technically be true.

I think the FOID is statewide.

I just looked at a police map of Chicago and there are gun shops inside their patrol areas.



Being a country boy it's very confusing lol.

Obviously an abject failure.

I don't see how the foid hasn't been challenged In court as unconstitutional.

Firearms owners Identification. Sounds like a authoritarian government to me.
