Regulate and Control

Bitter links to a letter from Rev. Snuffy Pfleger decrying the lack of 'gun control'. He claims we need to "regulate and control" the "flow of guns". Let's look at some facts.

Chicago has 5x the murder rate of the rest of the state.
Chicago has a 50% HS drop out rate.
50% of Chicago murders are gang related.
Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

Illinois outside of Chicago doesn't have these problems to anywhere near the degree Chi-town does. The gang-bangers are getting their guns illegally from their friends and family. The same ones who refuse to assist the police when their honor-student babies shoot up neighborhoods.

The solution is simple.

We need to Regulate and Control the flow of Chicagoans to the rest of the state.
