This is what Democrats do to places when they take control.
In the name (and only in name) of being champions of humanity, Dems in government implement programs to bring change that are not well-thought through and end up having the reverse affects than intended.
A prime example of this is the gun restrictions in Chicago – one of the worst crime-ridden cities in America.
Just this last weekend, 6 were killed by gunfire and 29 were wounded. And, that’s just common place in Chicago.
Chicago. This is where all handguns are banned and strict laws are in place to restrict citizens from purchasing rifles and shotguns (except "scary guns" like AK-47s, which are banned completely, too.)
Tell me again, Dems, where the evidence is that banning guns does anything to prevent violence and crime.
It certainly seems like the opposite.Â
In the case of liberal-run Chicago, gun violence just seems to be getting worse.Â
Here's a thought: maybe, it's because criminals - you know, the ones murdering people on the streets - don't obey laws, including gun laws! Maybe, all gun control does is keep law-abiding patriots from being able to protect themselves.
Hmm...what do you think?
