About Those Gun Numbers

  • Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) told CNN’s State of the Union, “Our gun problem is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on our streets, 60 percent of which come from states outside of Illinois.”
However, for the last data available:
  • The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF) 2018 figures show Illinois as the top source state for guns recovered in the state of Illinois.

    The ATF numbers show 5,337 guns recovered in Illinois were traced and sourced as coming from Illinois.

    Fourteen other states accounted for a total of 4,375 guns recovered in Illinois and traced to their source. Those states were Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, and Michigan.
So Groot does what all Groot's do when confronted with facts:
  • She lies
Of course, lying is second nature to politicians.

So let's discuss these guns that are coming in from other states. If they are available for illegal purchase to Chicagoans, then they are also available for locals to purchase. So if that is so, how come all these areas responsible for the illegal guns are not suffering any where close to the levels of violence experienced in Chicago? Mayne it's really not the fault of the guns which are inanimate objects. Maybe the problem is the people (or folks) using them. Maybe instead of trying to create more laws that the local States Attorney or judges will not enforce anyway, let's get a real States Attorney and judges that will actually prosecute and convict using the laws already on the books...

The SCC subject directly below this is entitled "Kass Column". I clicked on the link. It wanted me to subscribe to read the Kass column. With all due respect to Mr. Kass, I will not even pay a penny to either the Fibune or the Slum-Times. The SCC post was not taking comments. I assume that SCC is well aware that those treacherous rags actually expect a paid subscription to read their often biased anti-CPD articles. My decision is based on principle, truth, justice and the American way.

Ironically, years ago, I had subscriptions to both newspapers. Today: No way! With the possible exception of columnist Kass, I regard the old Soviet newspaper Pravda with more credibility than these two propaganda wings of the most politically corrupt major city in the nation.

Hey mayor, guns don’t kill people. People kill other people. Stop focusing on the tool (gun) and start focusing on the black on black crime problem that is and has been out of control for 60 years in this city. Let’s start being honest about criminality in this city. The first step in solving a problem is identifying the problem.

The Nazi’s started the Big Lie theory and the Democrats have perfected it. Tell the lie often enough and it be me the fact. Look at BLM movement for most recent example. Democrats never let fact get in the way of a good lie to secure their objective. The CPS educated Democratic voters hardly have the intellectual skills to ferret out the truth they just never d and parrot the Big Lie like the voting zombies they are. Those few Democratic voters that went on to higher education levels were indoctrinated by a liberal communist professor at what passes as our university level these days.

Talk about out of touch, too lazy to verify the hand-fed, out of date data she gets from her nitwit staff. Then leaves town on the weekends to give CNN interviews while the city in burning.

Apparently the Lyin Larri LightFührer plagiarized a part of a speech that obama gave in 2015 about “illegal guns coming into his hometown” which was from his appearance at the 122nd annual International Association of Chiefs of Police on June 27, 2015. Flashback to the 126th IACP conference when President Trump ask’s “Where’s Eddie Johnson?”, 3-1/2 years his strategies led to the most shootings and murders in Chicago history, more than the last 3 superintendents combined.

The exact same figure his highness used in 2015 was the same Larri reiterated early week was coming from his 2014 GunTrace Report, an anti-gun agenda driven by a CPD and UC-Crime Lab collaboration.

Citing disputed 6 yr old data, Larri about the biggest dope ever elected. We can see why she never made it in the lawyering business and at that was for a dismal 4 or 5 years.
Larri’s boner for Indiana.
If guns are hoping over the border, is Larri suggesting some border control measure? Larri doesn’t seem to mind that the Jobs are leaving across the same border.

Remember when the penalty for UUW was meaningful...by meaningful it was 3.0 hrs on the books in Felony Gun Court.

The mutts killing each other in “communities of color” don’t care where the guns come from. If they started a “buy local” effort for their illegal firearms purchase and use, would they kill less?

What a joke Lightfoot is. Terrified to blame the root cause.

How about trying a nuclear family and eliminating welfare fraud, and maybe sprinkle in some self accountability? Then watch these communities miraculously turn around.

C’mon SCC......what’s she gonna say except that other states are causing our problems?
Would she admit that 80% of the crime in Chicago is driven by less than 15% of the population?
That the unfortunate statistics are NOT the result of poverty and lack of opportunity, but perhaps
just the opposite? That the money-driven ends of the gang/drug cartels reap millions of
dollars in untaxed funds flowing freely through the “poor” neighborhoods?
If our fair city is pretty much 1/3 white, 1/3 hispanic, 1/3 black, how come the rest of the city is just
not doing their fair share of crime? Shooting? Killing?
That the said 15% of the population is being ALLOWED to terrorize this city due to the lack of
prosecution of crimes? Or perhaps due to being out of jail on probation or parole when they
shouldn’t be? The elected “leaders” of this city are playing MONOPOLY with peoples lives
every day.......using those Get Out Of Jail FREE cards!

The fact that a Weapon was “ Traced” by BATFE does NOT mean that the Weapon was EVER used ( or possessed) by a Criminal in the commission of a Crime. A “ Trace” can mean one of two seperate things. First, an attempt to follow chain of possession from manufacturer ( e.g., Smith & Wesson) to Distributor to FFL Dealer to Buyer. A “ Trace” can also mean an inquiry, through various Fed databases ( e.g., FBI NCIC), to see if the weapon is reported stolen or missing ( missing as in taken from an unmarked vehicle while the Detective to whom the vehicle was assigned was enjoying the intimate attention of his “ Sidepiece”). The second form of trace— to see if the weapon is stolen— may be routinely done by Customs and Border Protection on the personal 30-06 Bambi Blaster of a CPD who is crossing the border into Canada on a hunting trip. It has NO connection to anything criminal and should not be regarded as such. Comments on this matter from BATFE and CBP blog readers welcomed

It doesn’t matter if the guns are coming from Indiana or India - it’s not the GUNS that are doing the murders, it’s criminals.

Besides, if the cartels can smuggle in tons of heroin because there is demand for it, don’t you think they could smuggle in a few million guns, even if Lightfoot and Biden make them illegal?

The problem with passing laws against owning guns is that those laws don’t affect criminals - it’s already illegal for most of them to possess firearms, but criminals don’t obey laws...

It’s what makes them criminals.

Time to start telling truth. First, Guns can not be Illegal...unless they are stolen, in which case they are just called stolen guns. Second, recovered? This is a confiscation, not a recovery! Lets admit that words have real world definitions.

We all have a Inherent RIGHT to arms. ALL of them. Government is specifically prohibited from infringing or even abridging this right. This is so unambiguously written into the Highest Law of the Land!! Admit it. No State shall MAKE or ENFORCE Any Law that Abridges...

We fix things by admitting we are not adhering to our Declaration or Constitution and then actually start doing so!!

Limpfoot is good at only one thing- blaming everyone else for her shortcomings, including not taking proactive measures to reduce crime in Chicago. Shootings are up again, so who does she blame? President Trump, of course. There's only one problem with this approach, however. She is supposed to be the Mayor. She's in charge, and it's HER resposibility to handle Chicago's problems- not President Trump's. It looks like she has absolutely no idea what to do while holding public office. And it makes us question how the fuck someone who is as stupid and unqualified as she is got voted in in the first place. Neither being gay or black are qualifications to run a city. You need knowledge and common sense. Limpfoot has neither. She truly is a bumbling buffoon.
