I know you don't believe gun violence is caused by guns or access to guns (to be more specific) but not everyone shares your unique point of view
Tell me exactly what part of the article is "idiocy"
youre focusing on gun violence instead of violence. The guns are inanimate objects they do what the person wants. if a person has a bomb they will still use it to kill ppl if they choose to.
The article states that illinois isnt an island and that most guns come from outside of illinois. The US isnt an island, banning or barring certain guns wont keep ppl from getting them.
it states that "Broader data suggest that 50 percent of all crime guns come from one percent of dealers. Since illegal guns can travel across state boundaries, federal legislation targeting crooked dealers, traffickers, straw purchasers, and private sales without background checks is the best way to address gun violence in cities like Chicago."
it contradicts itself very clearly here, if they are illegal guns then the legislation for background checks wont address the issue. How are background checks going to help stop illegal activity?
it will just keep track of those that proceed with the background check, if they are already doing illegal activity you think more legislation is going to stop them?
LMFAO, I bet you think we can legislate evil away too.
