Homicide epidemic in Chicago despite of Draconian Gun laws
The Black and Hispanic communities suffer the most from the homicide epidemic in Chicago. The nation's strictest gun laws are not working. Most of the weapons are obtained illegally.
A simple mind would see the high number of firearm related murders as a reason for stricter gun laws. What such folks fail to understand is that criminal violence is perpetrated by people, not guns. Having an armed citizenry is the only way to reduce said murders. That's a fact.
