Chicago takes leading role in national gun debate

They are counting the dead from gunfire again in Chicago, a city awash in weapons despite having one of the strictest gun-control ordinances in the nation.

Gun control bans are to do the same thing over and over and expect different results, Einstein was wrong...

[whats up here]

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

I hear you don't need a AK-47 to hunt with or no one needs an assault weapon all the time. The second amendment doesn't seem to me to be about hunting. When I think of militia I think of assault weapons.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed" ???? How can we talk of speak of gun control without doing away with the second amendment? Just an honest observation of what is written in the second amendment.

Chicago looks like the model child of Gun Control. If you want to know what that future looks like, look no further, gangs and criminals abound. Try crime control before you go for the guns of the law abiding. A lot to be learned from Canada. We have strict gun controls and it hasn't affected crime in any good manner. We also have a guy (Ian Thomson) whose home was fire bombed while he slept, he quickly unlocked his gun and gathered separately stored ammo and fired warning shots to scare the people trying to harm him away and was charged with firearms offenses. The Crown would rather have had him burned alive or beaten/killed upon escaping his home than to defend himself. Do learn well from Canada what NOT to do when it comes to gun control, I implore you, no I beg you.

The bad thing about the changes being proposed now is they would not have prevented the school or theater shootings. It is against the law to murder people and when these people do murder at random what makes anyone think they will abide by gun laws? Has gun control in Chicago or Washington D.C. made the cities crime free?
