How Does This Keep Happening?

Gun grabbers and democrats tell us that MORE gun restrictions are always the answer....but then this happens:

• A Chicago man with a lengthy criminal history is facing felony charges after a 2-year-old boy allegedly found his loaded handgun and fatally shot himself inside a Pullman home. Prosecutors said Jamonte Shaw found a loaded 9mm handgun belonging to 31-year-old Johnny Hughes inside the home they shared with Jamonte’s mother and siblings in the 900 block of East 104th Street.

  At the time of the shooting, Hughes was asleep on a couch in the residence while Jamonte’s mother was in the kitchen with her 9-year-old and a 4-month-old. Sometime around 12:41 p.m., Jamonte allegedly found Hughes’ firearm and shot himself, prosecutors said.

  [...] Hughes is prohibited from possessing firearms because of his criminal record, which includes convictions for unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon in 2016 and 2020. Prosecutors said his record also includes convictions for reckless discharge of a firearm and aggravated fleeing and eluding, both in 2016.

  During a detention hearing, Judge Ankur Srivastava ordered Hughes detained pending trial. The judge cited Hughes’ history of gun offenses, the presence of multiple children in the home, and the fact that Hughes was already on felony pretrial release when the shooting occurred.

  Hughes faces charges of possession of a firearm by a repeat felon, aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon based on a prior conviction, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon with two or more prior convictions, and child endangerment causing death.

Multiple felony convictions....and still out, armed and committing more felonies.

You know what would fix this? More Gun restrictions on the Law abiding portion of the citizens!
