If gun control works, how come 55 people were shot in Chicago where there are draconian gun laws?

The liberal bastion of gun control and budget control – Chicago (aka Chiraq) – had another eventful weekend, full of fireworks and gunshots. It seems 55 fine citizens of Rahm’s paradise forgot to duck. I’m sure Obama’s “sons” will clean up their act when he moves back into town in early 2017.

This isn’t because the city has lax gun laws. Everyone, especially those who are for Second Amendment rights, knows that Chicago has some of the most stringent anti-gun laws on the books. Laws that keep the law-abiding vulnerable­ and unable to defend themselves, while criminals mostly bypass legal means to obtain their weapons (shocker! I know!).

So far, Chiraq has seen a 17.4 percent increase in shootings (1,625 this year), and a 22.6 percent increase in homicides (320 so far); the vast majority of the victims being young African-American men. Overall, we’re seeing a spike in homicides in many urban areas across the country. Baltimore has federal agents working their police’s homicide units to curb the violence. While the picture is grim, we’re not approaching the high crime rates of the early 1990s. – Matt Vespa

Gun Control Failures

Why is it that places with restrictive gun control have high violent crime?  In the linked article, New York City and Chicago are reported to have record numbers of people shot so far this year.

But how can that be? They have restrictive gun control. Guns are illegal there. Could it be that this does not prevent or reduce violent crime?? That violent felons don’t obey laws?

Here’s the link, from a very liberal publication. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/06/new-york-gun-statistics-2013/65807/

More guns = Less crime

Because we will resist, and that will deflate the myth that the federal government can do whatever it wants to.  The article is here.

Here’s an excellent article, well worth reading. The author shares my belief that our society in deep into the decivilization process.

And BTW, on the same day a Chinese psycho attacked a school there with a knife, injuring 22 children sans media frenzy.

6 die in China ax attack – CNN.com.

A 30 year old man in China attacked people in the street with an ax, killing 6.  No gun, an ax.  Violent criminals kill people – guns don’t.  Too bad no armed citizen was available to lessen the carnage by shooting this criminal. Oh wait, Communist China denies gun rights to it’s people.
