Chicago has very strict gun control laws. Are they helping reduce violent crime?
It's also (and more so) a cultural problem. Our culture is producing waaay too many people who aren't bothered by hurting others. Liberals hate, hate, hate discussing that side of it, because it's a huge political loser for them,. because liberalism causes it.

Gun control it about limiting access but the right only speaks in terms of BANNING weapons
Overall since 2006, firearm homicides in the U.S. have decreased, but the number of firearm suicides has increased by a similar amount.4
Even when firearm homicide rates were at their highest in the mid-1990s (just above 7/100,000 population), they were not higher than those for firearm suicide.
See Jim Guns like immigration ebb and flow thu R and D administrations
But theres one constant just like in Immigration the Rights AKA GOP unwillingness to address these issues . its all about the Vote its not about responsible approaches . for them they take the path of least resistance.. they just say No. and they blame away they blame the criminal they blame the immigrant and every election cycle its the wash rinse and repeat
The GOP and 2a people cant even accept background checks ! But they support no license no Gun registration open Carry ( the good guy with a gun argument ) all while yelling Freedom..
You can have as many guns as you want . but you should be licensed and those weapons should be registered to the owner. for accountability.. not the their fantasy of gun confiscation
