So in extension then, lax guns laws in Texas and Alaska are causing gun related crimes in Chicago and NYC then?

What a twit! Of course, people like my father will agree with him...

It´s their fault

Yeah, just like the lax liquor laws in Canada caused gang violence in Chicago back in the 1930s.

Yep the same old Liberal canard...it´s someone else´s fault!

It´s a racist plot! White suburbanites, Cheeseheads and Hoosiers are selling guns to black and hispanic gangbangers in an effort to reduce the minority population of Chicago.

I just thought of a solution Axelrod, just built a fence around Chicago and nobody can get in to sell the guns, then you can go neighborhood to neighborhood and confiscate all the guns that are there. That should solve your problem of other places doing such a nasty thing to Chicago.

So why is the murder rate far less than Chicago in those "surrounding areas", Dave?

So is the undeniable street drug problem also caused by lax drug laws in surrounding areas? Huh?

You have a failed socialist experiment with low/no income losers all congretated in a high population innter city, the product of the liberal programs that have almost obliterated the black family. That´s why you have violence. If they didn´t have guns, they would use knives, bats, or whatever was available.

I saw something interesting last Saturday. Hillsborough County, FL had a one-day weapons turn-in program, $75 for any firearm. Across the street, at least a half dozen enterprising people set up stands with signs saying "We buy guns for cash." Looked like they were getting all the good stuff, the cops got the crap. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon?

I think we have had enough of this idiot Axelrod - he just needs to go away. He has stained the nation by giving us Obama. He will burn in hell for assisting the voter fraud perpetrated on this country.

I have been told St. Louis gang warfare has recently exceeded the death rate in Chicago -- members of one gang call themselves "The Obama Boys."

David is on some serious drugs...common man!

Still playing the blame game. IF Sarah Palin were the mayor of Chicago, it would be her fault. Just remember Comrade Axelrod, when you point that bony finger at someone else, four are still pointing back at you.

The weapons are being brought in through a tunnel from Libya. They have thousands of extras over there thanks to U>S> foreign policy.

I suspect that what is reported as heavy smog in Chicago is actually accumulated pot smoke. This would explain a lot of strange thinking and paranoia about folks from out of town.

I guess what he means is people come to Chicago to kill because of the lax law enforcment in Chicago. Might get arrested if they do it in the surrounding areas.

And here we thought it was all about global warming.

What a crock. Illinois has some of the most stringent gun-control laws in the country. You can´t buy or own a gun legally without a state-issued Firearms Owners Identification Card, and it´s been that way since 1968. Illinois law mandates a three-day "waiting period" for handguns - you pay for the gun after passing the background check, but you can´t have it for three days. The waiting period for rifles and shotguns is one day. There is NO legal way to carry concealed, unless you´re a cop. Gun-grabbers always make this argument; it´s phony.

How much armed security does A-Rod have?

#7 nails it.

So, by that reasoning, the areas with lax gun laws should be in murdering rampages at even higher levels than Chicagoland? Why would the murder rate in Chicago be so high? By liberal Axelrod´s reasoning, it would seem the mass murderers from the lax gun law areas just pick up and go on murder vacations into Chicago because? Could it be the low chances of being caught by the lax police in Chicagoland? Something draws them in.

He would be on target if he rightly blamed the high Chicago murder rate on the large number of criminals who reside in Chicago. An article the other day advised that about 92% of the criminals who murder people in Chicago, and who are thereafter identified, are never criminally prosecuted under current law. If the gun laws are so "lax" in areas surrounding Chicago, why don´t those surrounding areas have high murder rates similar to the Chicago murder rates?

What about the thugs in Chicago as a possible cause?

Good analogy, #3. With your permission I plan to use that argument in future.
