Case in point: the quote below is from a retired Chicago police officer who was also a city alderman.
The original intent of the handgun ban was to make it more difficult to get a firearm in Chicago. Now, Mr. Sherman said, weapons are so much easier to obtain illegally that the gun laws only make it more cumbersome for citizens to register firearms.
“Why don’t I just do like these punks on the street have done,” he said, “and put my guns away and pull them out and use them when I want?”
Clearly, “gun control” in Chicago is more effective at preventing law-abiding citizens from owning guns than it is at preventing criminals from obtaining guns or using guns in violent crimes. When will gun control advocates realize it’s time to try something new?
