600+ Gun Casualties in Chicago 1st Quarter

"During one particularly violent weekend last month, 49 people were shot — 10 of them fatally, including a 6-year-old girl as she sat between her mom's legs on the family's Little Village front porch. The violence was largely concentrated on the South and Southwest sides."

Illinois does not issue concealed weapon permits. Time to rethink it??

Our leaders want to take gun rights away. Oh right now it is the big one like AR 15s and AK47s but it will trickle down to handguns.

How many criminals will give up their guns because the government says so?

None. But then again the elites in Gov care nothing about the safety of its citizens other than they want the citizens to THINK they care (more then the other guy).

We have FAR more guns in AZ due to our liberal open and concealed carry laws and yet we have no were NEAR the number of gun crimes that the city of Chicago has, even with the active Mexican drug violence which is spilling across our Southern border.

The criminals don't care if they use their guns on the citizenry, but if they know that some will fire back, they think twice about going in with their guns ablazing.

I just wonder if this mess in Florida may have something to do with Florida's "stand your ground" law possibly being rescinded?

More guns in Arizona with fewer gun crimes does not mean more guns in Chicago would equate to fewer gun crimes. But you done know this Randy..

Re: 600+ Gun Casualties in Chicago 1st Quarter
 

I would argue the other way... a criminal is more likely to carry a gun if he knows citizens are carrying guns and a criminal is more likely to shoot a gun if he is placed in a flight or fight situation which would happen more often with citizens that carry guns.

Instead of confiscation of guns why not prosecution to the full extent of the law for gun law violations?
