    Gun laws allow criminals to rule. Illinois has argueably the most strict gun laws in the country. What are they accomplishing?

    Per article The city's murder rate has spiked 29% year-over-year as of this month

    More Chicago Police Officers were killed by gunfire this year than any other police agency in the nation. The city also boasts one of the highest violent crime rates in the country, with 1 in 89 residents being victims of violent crime last year.

    Pretty bad considering for awhile it was illegal for a private citizen to own or possess a handgun anywhere within the city, including in one’s own home.

    This board has one of the least strictest (sic) thread starting laws in America. Seems to work... :cool:
