The recent surge in violence in Chicago lasted through the weekend, leaving at least nine people dead and 28 wounded after multiple shootings, NBC News reports. The Chicago Tribune reported that at least 17 of those victims were shot in a 12-hour stretch between Saturday evening and Sunday morning....
So, murder is illegal. Violent assault with weapons is illegal. Presumably, any sort of combination of offenses with firearms is illegal, so how could more gun restrictions stem the violence? Crime rates actually dropped when the Chicago gun ban was found unconstitutional, so maybe it simply didn't go far enough. Along that line of though, reason implies that further deregulation would also lead to a decrease in gun violence. End more gun restrictions, don't revert to a more violent historical position.
I love logic. It's only opposition is opinion and emotional response in this venue.
