That Chicago is not in the top 10 cities with the most crime?
The media talks about Chicago as if it is the number one place for crime and gun violence...they mention strict gun laws...but they fail to mention the state nextdoor that is just over a bridge ....and the very lax gun laws in that great and wonderful state of Indiana.
According to Forbes
According to the FBI
There is ONE reason the media talks about Chicago all the time. I will let all of you decide what that reason is.
Thank you JLP!! We all know what that reason is. It's the same reason as soon as Trump starting mentioning Chicago in terms of guns, his cult members followed suit.
Did you know that any resident of Illinois purchasing a gun in Indiana is required to have a FOID card just like they do in Illinois? In fact, a firearms transfer is required by law to be in compliance with the laws of the state where the transfer happens, the laws of the state where the purchaser resides, and federal law. Handguns aren't allowed to be sold to persons residing outside of the state where the seller lives.
Last question: if lax gun laws in Indiana are the cause for the amount of shootings in Chicago, why are there so few shootings in Indiana?
@JaggedLittlePill straw purchase is already illegal. When I worked for a gun dealer, I reported many purchases I found out to be straw purchases to the ATF under Obama, and they did nothing about it. The laws are in place, but Democrats and bureaucrats don't want to enforce them.
Trump also once made a point of slamming Oakland, CA:
When asked about the most dangerous place he has been in, Trump first jokingly said Brooklyn. Trump went on to say, "there are places in America that are among the most dangerous in the world. You go to places like Oakland. Or Ferguson. The crime numbers are worse. Seriously."
On the list it doesn’t even get an honorable mention. But again, we know why Trump mentioned it. 🙄
@JaggedLittlePill My point...to clarify is it isn't number one and the media constantly makes claim that it is. They use it for a very purposeful reason.
