Subdeacon Joe Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/07/07/chicago-pd-weak-gun-laws-blame-weekend-shootings-leaving-82-injured-14-reported-dead Chicago's police chief has blamed weak gun laws after a string of shootings over the holiday weekend that killed at least nine and injured dozens. "It's Groundhog Day here in Chicago," Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters on Monday. Supt McCarthy said there was a "greater sanction" for gang members to have their gun taken away from them by their own gang than for being arrested. There were dozens of shooting incidents over the long weekend in the city. The Chicago Tribune called it the "greatest burst of gun violence Chicago has seen this year" and said the number of fatalities was actually as high as 14. During a press conference on Monday, Mr McCarthy said investigations were continuing into shots fired by police over the weekend, including two teenagers who were fatally shot after allegedly refusing to put down their weapons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxGgnI6kCrs Link to comment
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 It's always the "lax gun laws" everywhere else that are the source of the problem. I don't even read the stuff anymore. It's the same script over and over. Link to comment

Bad Jeemes Kelly Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It's always the "lax gun laws" everywhere else that are the source of the problem. I don't even read the stuff anymore. It's the same script over and over. Do they ever explain: if the lax gun laws everywhere else are the problem, why isn't "everywhere else" having the same problem as Chicago? Link to comment
