The Law abiding citizens are not the ones going out and killing everyone in the south side of Chicago every day. These are illegal guns being used by criminals. Tougher gun laws will not correct the problem. Criminals will be CRIMINALS, thus the title CRIMINAL! If you want to correct the gun problems that we have here in the US, lets start with one area, and this will reduce alot of crimes. Lets start with enforcing the laws that are already on the books. Why is that a gang banger in Chicago can have a gun with no serial number on it that he bought for $200 on the street and only get 1 or 2 years, or a suspended sentence for time served? Why are these CRIMINALS not being charged with the real crime, which is a Federal count and sentenced to 15 years for the same offense. If you want to reduce the senseless crimes in the inner city, how about Truth in Sentences. Lets start there. I would guarantee that a lot of these wanna be gangsters will change their mind quickly when they realize that you use a gun while doing any criminal act, you go to jail. And, I am not talking one of these state run day cares, Federal prison because the majority would have broke at least one Federal Crime. One code to look at, which is in the Federal realm is 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1-9).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-4827005492932769742014-03-11T12:53:31.956-05:002014-03-11T12:53:31.956-05:00This will prevent much more crime.

The US has far more gun violence than most other countries, due to high ownership and lax laws.
