It's no secret that Rahm Emanuel and Chicago, with the strictest laws in the country, have this serious problem anywhere close to under control. https://ipatriot.com/ban-guns-can-like-chicago/

Chicago is surrounded by guns. Ban the guns and there won't be any guns to surround us...

And I have to ask, you cons think yourselves the best and the brightest yet you can't understand that if you are surrounded by guns a ban is fairly pointless. But if we ban guns as a nation than that no longer applies. Can you guys honestly not figure that out or are you just pretending to be dumb as a rock???

The Chicago Dindu's shoot each other every day, it's part of the Chicago Dindu culture.
I wonder if rogue elements from the goobermint are still dropping off crates
of Free Weapons in the alleyways of Chiraq.

NWLR = not worth a logical response. Remember Rahm Emanuel, mayor and Obama's right hand man, can't get a handle on it...says it all.

Petey, I don't think you read that article or you might have talked different. Anyway does Chicago need the gun bans they have because all the rest of Illinois hasn't claimed an effort to control through taking them all up. Old Rahm hasn't taken them up and yet you say you must keep them because you are surrounded.

Get you ass to that article and read it. It is rather short.

Or at least have somebody read it to you. We'll forgive you if you can't do it on your own.

IF ... if you are saying gun bans won't prevent shootings ... IF that is what you are saying, then you are among the best and brightest of the Leftists. Because literally NONE of your politicians agree. And of course you are correct; bans of anything won't prevent negligent or malicious application. That said;

I don't understand attacking the 'cons' or any other person or group for being dumb when it's obvious most do understand the foregoing very clearly. Hence the propensity for resisting more stupid laws that don't accomplish anything. You come very close here to the real, core problem for the Leftists in the United States, they don't have the guts to say what they really mean, what you said here, "But if we ban guns as a nation than [then?] that no longer applies." So it's not about banning guns, it's about banning the right to own guns which is necessarily accompanied by confiscation ... resulting in no longer being surrounded by guns. No guts, no glory ...

Chicago is drowning in a sea of violent criminal gangs and the illegal drug and gun markets that they control.

Chicago brags that they confiscate ten thousand guns per year, they lock up the guns and release the criminals that

they were confiscated from! Clean up your gang problem and your murder rate will plumet, until then you're just pissing into the wind.

Hey petey what did you think of those people getting in the face of that father who just lost his daughter in the school shootings because he was wearing a Trump2020 T-shirt? What's your take? http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/16/twitter-savages-father-parkland-victim-trump-shirt/

Peter, the best response to your comment was expressed by Mrs. Raley, a Florida teacher who wrote a post in which she talked about parental responsibility, compassion, and respect, and more than 823,000 people have "liked" the post and agreed with it, while more than 649,000 have shared it with others. Here is what she had to say:
"Okay, I'll be the bad guy and say what no one else is brave enough to say, but wants to say. I’ll take all the criticism and attacks from everyone because you know what? I’m a TEACHER. I live this life daily. And I wouldn't do anything else! But I also know daily I could end up in an active shooter situation.

Until we, as a country, are willing to get serious and talk about mental health issues, lack of available care for the mental health issues, lack of discipline in the home, horrendous lack of parental support when the schools are trying to control horrible behavior at school (oh no! Not MY KID. What did YOU do to cause my kid to react that way?), lack of moral values, and yes, I’ll say it-violent video games that take away all sensitivity to ANY compassion for others’ lives, as well as reality TV that makes it commonplace for people to constantly scream up in each others’ faces and not value any other person but themselves, we will have a gun problem in school. Our kids don’t understand the permanency of death anymore!!!

I grew up with guns. Everyone knows that. But you know what? My parents NEVER supported any bad behavior from me. I was terrified of doing something bad at school, as I would have not had a life until I corrected the problem and straightened my ass out. My parents invaded my life. They knew where I was ALL the time. They made me have a curfew. They made me wake them up when I got home. They made me respect their rules. They had full control of their house, and at any time could and would go through every inch of my bedroom, backpack, pockets, anything! Parents: it’s time to STEP UP! Be the parent that actually gives a crap! Be the annoying mom that pries and knows what your kid is doing. STOP being their friend. They have enough “friends” at school. Be their parent. Being the “cool mom” means not a damn thing when either your kid is dead or your kid kills other people because they were allowed to have their space and privacy in YOUR HOME. I’ll say it again. My home was filled with guns growing up. For God’s sake, my daddy was an 82nd Airborne Ranger who lost half his face serving our country. But you know what? I never dreamed of shooting anyone with his guns. I never dreamed of taking one! I was taught respect for human life, compassion, rules, common decency, and most of all, I was taught that until I moved out, my life and bedroom wasn't mine it was theirs. And they were going to know what was happening because they loved me and wanted the best for me.

There. Say that I’m a horrible person. I didn't €™ bring up gun control, and I will refuse to debate it with anyone. This post wasn’t about gun control. This was me, loving the crap out of people and wanting the best for them. This was about my school babies and knowing that God created each one for greatness, and just wanting them to reach their futures. It's about 20 years ago this year I started my teaching career. Violence was not this bad 20 years ago. Lack of compassion wasn’t this bad 20 years ago. And God knows 20 years ago that I wasn’t afraid daily to call a parent because I KNEW that 9 out of 10 would cuss me out, tell me to go to Hell, call the news on me, call the school board on me, or post all over FaceBook about me because I called to let them know what their child chose to do at school...because they are a NORMAL kid!!!!!

Those 17 lives mattered. When are we going to take our own responsibility seriously?"

Look what happened when they banned drugs!

=====================
Chicago is the most violent city in the US and in the world. Always run by democrat mayors.

CDM Loc: Florida

You make an interesting point here. If you expand on it; according to statistical data of three world agencies of the top 50 most violent cities in the WORLD by murders/100,000 population, number 1 is Caracas, Venezuela at 130. But wait ... there's more! ... number 32 on the list is New Orleans at 33, number 28 is Detroit at 35 , number 19 is Baltimore at 51 and number 15 is St. Louis at 60. Chicago doesn't make the list at 29/100,000. But wait, there's more!;

Guess what political ideology has dominated these cities for most or in some cases all of their existence?

Chicago, home to over 70,000 criminal gangs members, also has the highest rate of criminal gang participation in the nation.
