Chicago outlawed handgun sales in 1981. 40 shootings in the past week
TheStar.com | World | A look beyond the handgun ban

Quote:
CHICAGO—Deputy Police Chief Eugene Williams had a tough week. Wednesday morning, a two-storey house in his jurisdiction on the South Side. Five people, shot dead. The following afternoon, two more shootings. Another that night, non-fatal, shot in the leg and back. And all of this following a hail of gunfire that had peppered the city's toughest neighbourhoods just a few days before: In less than a week, more than 40 shootings, at least a dozen of them fatal.


Williams, an affable 28-year veteran of the force, sat in his office in the blue-paneled bunker of the CPD's District 5 headquarters in South Chicago. As he managed his constantly pinging email and two BlackBerrys vibrating at regular intervals on his desk, he suggested a worrying paradox.


"The regular citizen in Chicago cannot go anywhere and buy firearms," says Williams, eyebrows raised. "And yet, in one year, in the 1990s, we had more than 19,000 weapons recovered. In one year. We've been averaging 10,000 weapons recovered every year for the last 10 or 12 or 14 years. And that's with a ban."
guns dont kill people. politicians and dumb laws kill people.

They come in from the other states that allow guns.
Just stop selling guns in the whole U.S. and this will never happen again.
The bad guys will just give up.
Oh, and don't allow people to carry. The bad guys will take their weapons and use them too.

Ban 'em in america and we'll import them from mexico. It's what we do with drugs, and we can see that the war on drugs is working quite well.
