I'm sure it just a coincidence that Illinois finally stopped restricting the rights of the citizens and approved concealed carry.

All a coincidence.

It seems it happens in every state that passes CC. I'm sure that's coincidence too.

    You really can twist stories to suit your warped viewpoints, eh?

    "and police said more than 1,300 illegal guns were recovered in the last three months."

    but this story has everything to do with more people having guns and thus crime went down, right?

    Do many Americans spend their entire waking life obsessing about fucking guns?

    It's pathetic...

    Or maybe all the angry violent people in Chicago are slowly eliminating themselves? or maybe eventually the rates would come down on their own?

    Most people did not receive their CC permits until mid March, two weeks left in Quarter 1. The reason Chicagoans didn't kill eachother as much is because it was so cold.

    You will never post a single article here on A Moving Gun that will convince me we should make guns more available here in the US rather than less. Statistics lie and guns (or at least too many of the people who have) them kill.

    more importantly, based on our recent discussions, this question has to be asked....

    how many bad guys with guns were directly stopped in the act by legal concealed carry licensed good guys with guns??

    I bet it's about the same amount as to how many innocent bystanders were killed by the good guy bullets ....

    If this means we don't have to hear about anymore antecdotal news items about how Chicago needs more guns... I think this is GREAT News!!!
    ...
    (also... i believe the persons who said it has been freezing ass in Chicago for the past 3 months and the cops reducing the number illegal guns in the city, were correct in deducing that those were probably determining factors)

    i agree about the cold, it was a bitch of a winter. If we have a nasty summer and it holds low, then I may be swayed.

    This was also the coldest January, February in the history of the Chicago. Most of the city stayed indoors 7 days a week other than going to and from work.

    In addition, couldn't you start applying for the conceal and carry permit mid-January? Still takes a few weeks to actually get your permit? It wasn't like January 1st every gun owner was packing on their walk to Dunkin Donuts.

    Couldn't have been cold, not with that whole global warming thing going on.

    Chicago is always going to be the most backwards and most corrupt city in this country. The fact of the matter is guns, no matter the number, will never be the reason that Chicago is what it is. The people make that city what it is, and that city has some of the most wretched and vile people on the planet.

    what about pyongyang? what about kabul? what about the gaza region?

    statements like that make this entire topic laughable.
