Chicago still doesn't have gun stores, or host the gun shows that allow people to skirt background checks. The guns are brought in. 7/x

Great thread! Good info to refute the "But Chicago" gun control naysayers.

Thank you. Guns are a complex issue, and there are many arguments that have merit. However, "but Chicago" isn't one of them.

I think one thing it does do is show how restricting guns in one place won't keep guns from being there illegally. So...
-
Unless you can remove guns from nearby areas as well (and that will be hard in the middle of the US), it's not going to work. So...
-
You would have to have national gun restrictions AND border enforcement to start to really get guns out of the hands of criminals. But...

There are 300 million here already, we're not an island like Britain, &most don't want Feds (Trump) to have confiscatory power at that level

You're right. That last tweet is overstated and unclear. I meant Chicago doesn't show gun laws cause more gun violence. Perils of Twitter.

It's all good.

I am for gun reform but, how would gun reform effect cops. It seemed when I was in Australia most cops weren't carrying either.
-
I don't see any scenario where US police aren't carrying.

When I was in Australia seemed most cops weren't carrying. I'm not sure, I think they passed gun control laws in the 80's.

But they don't have the NRA to contend with

I'd expect a professor to be aware of the relationship between national gun regulations & interstate trafficking as it exists today. smh.

Scroll up a bit. I said exactly that earlier in the thread.

Ok. There's a way you can attach long winded docs to a tweet as opposed to what you've done here. After all, it's Twitter. Just my 2cents.

You forgot the main point. They use Chicago as an example to make black people scary. Even tho there are higher gun death rates elsewhere.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Um...yes it does bc the guns in Chicago come from Indiana, which has fewer regulations. Doh!
