Because control is working so well now, more will be even better!

What a bunch of tyrants.

Word is he felt really bad about the young woman that had just returned from the inauguration being shot...or at least was told he did.

DA, you need Thug control,not gun control.

FTA: But now Emanuel seems to embracing the conservative notion of law and order, pushing for harsher sentencing for felons carrying weapons, among other measures.

Are we supposed to believe that rahm embraces harsher sentences for felons, when he is mayor of a city that prosecutes something like 4 percent of the gang thug shooters? rahm is trying to look tough on crime, but he´s not. In the FTA above, the operative word is "seems." Any remarks by emanuel to contrary are simply lip service.

Exactly what is "common sense" about gun laws that only the law abiding will obey? Criminals will simply ignore these new laws the same way they ignore the existing laws. That´s why they are called criminals. In the mean time the law abiding citizens will be left even more defenseless against a criminal element grown even bolder because it knows that it´s prey can´t fight back.

Look the demographics of the dead in Chicago, I´ll bet they reflect the story the CDC statistics tell us about where the problem is with guns in this country.

Gang control, not gun control. Take no prisoners and the problem will subside.

Publish the demographics of gun deaths in Chicago. Address these demographics. Declare martial law in these districts and confiscate all firearms therein, with exceptions for demonstrably good behavior. Leave the rest of Chicago alone.

I´m thinking boys having fathers at home might be good "gun control." Is that what you´re going to push for, Rahm?

Per Illinois must pass a concealed carry law by June or it becomes a constitutional carry state and Chicago´s gun laws will go pffft.

Per the federal courts, I meant to say.

FTA: Obama will no doubt shift blame for Chicago’s gun crime problem from the city and onto surrounding areas, despite their lower rates of crime.

Gee, lower crime rates in the areas around Chicago. Wonder what they´re doing do make that happen?

Richmond VA had a simliar problem. Then they started with Project Exile in which felons comitting crimes with guns were prosecuted under federal gun laws. Not only were the sentences for the federal crimes tougher than just the local drug or robbery charges, but if convicted by a federal court the perp was sent to a prison in another state, far away from the thug´s home, posse, and support system. Suddenly a 4-6 month stint in the local hoosgaw turned into 8-10 years in Wyoming. Not very appealing.

The crime rate in Richmond plummeted as a result.

Once again, enforce existing laws rather than pass new worthless laws that the thugs will also ignore.

Hey, leave my favorite state (Wyoming) out of this.

Isn´t doing the same thing and expecting a different result the definition of insanity? If so the city of Chicago is truly lost.

There is a danger I doubt the communists have thought of; If their grab at the legally owned guns does not work to curb illegal guns on the street and the deaths thereby caused (black-on-black) then the communists are in another pickle of their own making. Of course, the Pravda media will never expose them for it.

Here´s an idea,arrest everybody before they have a chance to kill somebody. Ten to a bunk.That´s how illegals sleep,it´s good enough for them.

The solution is staring Rahm in the face - - and he doesn´t recognize it.

Just put all law-abiding people into the safety of the prisons - - and let the gangstas roam free to kill each other.

Why can´t Rahm see the obvious?

At least their new police chief knows the answer is mandatory sentencing. 93% Chicago gun criminals walk free... The kid who shot this girl has 2 prior gun offenses in 2012 alone.// resulting in probation.

Good for Rahm, now him and Dianne can leave the rest of us the heck alone!
