Violence in Chicago

It seems that Chicago, despite their numerous gun bans and restrictions placed on the Second Amendment, is still just too dangerous a place to live. Over the weekend they reported 32 shootings and six killings. And what do they blame this violence on?

Police Superintendent Jody Weis blamed an excess of guns and gangs for the rash of violence.
"There are just too many weapons here," Weis said at a news conference Sunday. "Too many guns, too many gangs."

That's right, they say that there's just too many guns in the city to be safe. They're basically admitting that their ban on handguns and "assault weapons" is failing since this attack was able to take place.

Now, since this admission of failure has been made we need to ask a question: If these laws aren't working, why are they still on the books?

Look Chicago! If you want to be safe then enforce the laws you've got and quit whining and crying about their ineffectiveness and decrying the fact that you've got armed criminals running around and killing people. That's what you get when you ban guns and accept crime.

Here's what you should do. You should take the failed "If we ban it then the criminals won't have it" mentality and pass a complete and total ban on crime. Make it a crime to actually be a criminal. That way, since crime is banned, nobody will be a criminal anymore. See how it works?
