Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the land, huge ProgLib enclave/(D) political stronghold for decades. Murder rate through the roof.

You drive 10 minutes outside of chicago and it's very easy to get a gun

Well then it's automatic then, tougher gun laws in suburban Chicago are going to cause the murder rate in inner-city Chicago to go down. :thumbsup

Oh, and I'm for tougher gun laws, but it's not going to really change anything in our culture.

The right laws could.

Oh, okay. :thumbsup

Note to self: The "right" gun laws will make certain people value life more.

No they would make it harder for them to get a gun which I guess may not change our culture (if that's something you want to argue) but it would reduce the number of murders

Are number of murders part of a culture? Seems like they would be.

Dax, why are you for tougher gun laws if they won't do anything?

Okay, that's some feel good speculation, so we'll roll with that.

I'm for laws that ban the sale of certain types of guns to only highly licensed and regulated individuals, I'm also for laws that ban the sale of high capacity magazines.

But draconian gun laws will render the U.S. a country that will be unlivable for law abiding people IMO.

What's draconian in your book? Overall ban?

I think most of us realize a ban on guns in the US us too far gone. You won't even find any semblance of a majority opinion about that among ProgLibs.

i have a friend IRL who got up super early on black friday one year and got an AR-15 at Cabela's (for example):
