In Progressive mythology, gun control does not mean a tight grouping on the target; it means disarming law-abiding citizens. A corollary to that is making it as difficult or expensive as possible for those who insist on protecting themselves. The stated goal is public safety but the reality is the inverse.
Chicago has more gun control laws than you can shake a pointy stick at (be careful with that; stick regulations might be next), which must make it the Safest Place On Earth.
It has to be. Every Democrat in every other state at every level wants, needs, or protects the same laws the Democrats in Chicago insist keep us safe. And how is that working out?
With four months left, 2,552 people have been shot in Common Sense Gun Law Chicago. Of those, 2,097 were wounded, and 455 were killed. The Windy City has had 502 murders so far in 2022 (on pace to set a new ‘safety*’ record).
There have been 1,144 carjackings and 35 mass shootings in Chicago in 2022, where four or more people are shot in the same event. They’ve had 52 incidents where three people were shot and 241 where two people were shot.
When Democrats tell their common sense gun law fairy tale Chicago is the realization of that dream. Crime, chaos, and murder. A dream they want to spread your city or town.
And they will if you let them.
Your job is to make sure people who’d rather not pay attention understand that their fairy tale is actually a nightmare and its name is Chicago.
