Gun Control & RKBA

Every 6 months or so, McCarthy and/or Rahm has a "Look at all the Guns we took off the street" presser.

Last time, somebody from the media actually checked the intake tags on the guns and found out a bunch of them were confiscated over two years ago and being re-cycled for the press events.

In the meantime violent crime is up over last year and the year before.

Here’s how the just first 15 days of September in Chicago played out:

29 homicides (+26% YoY) YoY=Year over Year
144 shot and wounded (+102% YoY)
26 males, 3 females killed
Teenagers: 6 killed & 39 wounded
A homicide every 12 1/2 hours
Someone shot & wounded every 2 1/2 hours
6 ongoing death investigations
5 #ShotInTheAss

Still better than the 4th of July blood bath.

About 3% of these criminals are actually prosecuted for gun charges if arrested. The gun charges are plead out by the DA's team to speed things up in court.

None of them have valid FOID cards or obviously Concealed Carry permits.
