Sockpuppet and Liar

Uncle links to a former 'Only One' who posits an editorial supporting the Chicago handgun ban. What the author doesn't mention is that he is a board member of the Joyce puppet ICHV.

He is also either ignorant or a liar. He makes the claim:

Under Chicago's gun ordinance, about 15,000 guns are seized and then melted down each year from individuals who were illegally carrying them in their cars or on the street.

Yet according to the IL UCR, less than 7,000 are traced each year, about 7,400 confiscated and about 6,000 collected in 'gun buy backs'.

Another fabrication:

"homicides -- are mostly committed by family members or friends in the course of an argument

Not according to the FBI. Most are committed by 'acquaintances' ie someone you happen to know. In the case of Chicago, 90% of the offenders have a criminal past and 70% of the victims do. 60% are directly affiliated w/ gangs or gang activity.
Never mind that he ignores the fact that, even according to him, the numbers of privately owned firearms has increased yet didn't equal an increase in crime w/ them.

Either way, his numbers don't add up.
