Most of the victims of these shootings have criminal records, if they want to carry a gun a ban is not going to deter them. Lifting a ban is not going to change their behavior. Conceal and carry laws don't impact criminal on criminal violence.
Exactly, what point are you trying to make? However lifting the ban will give the average citizen to protect them self's from criminals. Like the post above me, if one or two criminals get killed in a robbery, the rest may think twice about trying to rob some one
Chicago eliminates hand gun ban, homicides rise by almost 25%, I thought guns were supposed to reduce crime?
Sounds like more people are defending their personal liberty now, more than ever.
Maybe if you get out of your box, you would see, it might be the criminals getting killed, during a crime.
Handgun sales in Illinois, is up 90%, for a reason.
Gun laws have little impact on crime. Whether they are lenient or strict.
Sure they do. Go into any mall or supermarket where it is legal to open carry. Are you going to pull your gun out and open fire there? Only if your intent is suicide you will.

Chicago has been hovering around 450-500 murders a year for about a decade now. The rate was HIGHER before that, significantly more in the 70's-early 90's.
Most guns that are confiscated came through straw purchases. Those who can legally purchase a gun can do so about as easily as ordering a cheeseburger, and those who can't (criminals) simply have the gun purchased for them. It's way too easy.

You can't open carry there... BTW, do you know how that ended? I bet you never even read it. A CCW holder drew down on this nut and he ran into a hallway and killed himself.

That's the only way anyone thinks they get them. Do you know how heroin and other drugs get into the country? Boats, shipping containers, etc? Guns and other weapons come in the same way to be sold on the streets. You could also buy an AK-47 fully auto over the internet CHEAP and have it delivered right to your house and nobody would know.
Ummmm, you are special aren't you....Have comprehension issues? You can't open carry there... BTW, do you know how that ended? I bet you never even read it. A CCW holder drew down on this nut and he ran into a hallway and killed himself.
oh my...See, I knew it. You know absolutely nothing about any of this. Open carry is different than CCW!
