Chicago gangs don’t have to go far to buy guns

[DanTex]

2. LOL. The "whining" is about guns from outside Chicago being brought into the city.

About half of Chicago's crime guns come from Illinios, the other half from out of state. This is why Rahm is pushing for tighter gun laws statewide. Because, guns can, umm, be carried from one place to another, so tight gun laws in Chicago are undermined by loose gun laws outside the city.

The only people who don't know about this are the gun fanatics, apparently.

Emanuel noted that 56 percent of the guns used in Chicago crimes were purchased in Illinois, but outside the city. That leaves what he called a “gaping hole” that criminals are exploiting.

“We need to close that hole, shut it down, so that the hard work of the law enforcement community, the hard work of our community groups, the hard work of our faith-based community, the hard work of our parents [doesn’t go to waste and] our laws are backing them up and keeping their kids safe, rather than making them more vulnerable,” the mayor said.
