I'm pretty sure if conservatives could solve society's problems through job creation that liberals will be outnumbered and begin to disappear.

Republicans are trying, but Democrats cannot afford to have a self realized minority group on the voter rolls.

Troll! But the cities near Chicago have lenient gun laws. Give us statistics instead of your cherry picked stories

A lot of the guns used in Chicago come from Indiana.

This is true. With no gun stores in Chicago and no background check loopholes for private sales, one thing is clear. The guns being used to kill people on the streets aren’t originating in Chicago. They’re coming from someplace else. Those with felony convictions commonly use straw purchases, in which they enlist someone with a clean record to purchase multiple guns and bring them into the city.

In the loopy world of gun nuts the answer is to up the ante and accelerate a residential arms race. It's insanity.
