A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT GUN CONTROL LAWS

Ken Berwitz


Chicago has what arguably are the strictest gun control laws of any city in the United States

This past weekend, 5 Chicago residents were killed and 12 wounded by guns. 

To date Chicago has had 399 fatal shootings and 2301 non-fatal, for a total of 2,700.

My question:  How many of these 2,700 fatal and non-fatal shootings were by legal gun owners – i.e. gun owners who gave a damn about obeying gun laws.

The answer to that question is the answer to what I think of stricter and stricter gun control laws as a deterrent to gun violence.
