Chicago and Illinois Gun Laws Don't Stop Killing

At Least 15 Dead In Weekend Violence - News - MSNBC.com A litany of death and injury. Handguns are illegal in Chicago, but not unavailable to the criminals. It's only the law-abiding who are disarmed.

As of about 5 a.m. Monday, 15 people were dead and many more injured.
Then of course a few of the injuries and at least one death was by stabbing, so the gun laws don't apply. (Chicago has anti-knife laws as well of course. They didn't work either.) Some of the deaths were random, some were gang related. Non were caused by the inanimate object used to do the deed.

Criminals are responsible for crime. But that is too much of an individual responsibility idea for Mayor Dumbbell Daley and the People's Republic of Illinois.
