Mayor Lightfoot: Biden Key to Getting Gun Control for Chicago

During an August 12, 2020, appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) suggested Joe Biden is key to securing more gun control for Chicago and the rest of the country.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski played a clip of President Trump offering federal help to Chicago, wherein Trump said:

Together, the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois have 25,000 police officers, sheriffs, and guardsmen, available to quell any violence. They can do it very quickly, very easily, if allowed to do their jobs. All available federal support requested to stop the violence, and arrest the criminals, we have to be asked by the governors or the mayors and we’ll be there very rapidly.

Mayor Lightfoot responded, “Those are the words of somebody who doesn’t understand the first thing about local policing.”

She then pivoted to push for more gun control, suggesting the federal government needs to “pass common-sense gun reform, make sure that everybody has background checks, stop the availability of ‘assault weapons,’ people that are on a no-fly list shouldn’t be able to get weapons, the list goes on and on.”

Old joe would be her choice. That’s why little feet has a disaster in her Democrat ran post. Go ahead and wish for more. Only thing is you will be on your own after November. Sad indeed, only hope would be to get so balls in there as mayor and throw out the trash, along with her.

Some people still believe more gun control laws will stop the shootings in cities. Thinking like this is so naive. The thugs doing the shoot'n don't care about laws, lives, or anything else for that matter. SMDH

Gun Control. so much BS. It takes a human to fire a gun. How about pointing the responsibility where it belongs - on the human. If you keep not prosecuting 25,000 cases as in Chicago, and the letting felons loose, what do you expect. Any lunatic could see the the absolute insanity in that theory. The DA is black, so I guess she gets a pass. If she does doesn't know how to do her job, which in more than apparent, she should step aside. Stop the gun did the deed BS, It takes a human.

I noticed there was an increase in stabbings in Chicago lately. How's gun control going to stop stabbings?

These idiots call it gun control. When in fact it is ANIMAL control, or lack thereof, that is the problem. A liberal can't face facts head-on. They have to obfuscate in order to hide their true allegiance so they can be elected---again & again & again. Kinda reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day". Wake up at 6 am and do the same thing over, and over, and over, ----. Just waiting for something to change. They used to put these poor souls in a mental institution. Now they just elect them, over, and over, and over, ----again, and again, and again. Pathetic--ain't it?????

I agree 100% with taking those gang bangers guns

It will stop all of the murders immediately

But I’m not sure they will turn in their guns if they are outlawed?

All of the normal and decent people will turn in their guns

They have the toughest gun control laws in the Country with the highest murder rates. More gun control is not the answer. Criminals do not care about laws. Law biding citizens have been put on lock up at home while they are letting criminals walk the streets. This is where the problem is. Catch and released back to the streets to do more harm. Wear a mask, wear a mask is what we heard daily. If masks work then why didn't they give masks to the jail birds vs letting them out on the streets? They do not and will not wear your masks or obey your laws.

Md passed the gun control laws of 2013 under Martin O'Malley and Anthony Brown. The gun violence in Baltimore jumped though the roof. Gun control laws do not work any more then the hug the thug mentality does.

Northwest Woodsman: The fact is that these Pedomarxist democrats want guns out of the hands of ordinary citizens because the agenda they have planned for this country would cause a violent revolution and democrats would be the target. They would be relentlessly pursued and either eliminated or forced to leave the country. They could care less about negros shooting and killing each other by the score, especially on weekends in cities like Chicago, Detroit, and Baltimore.
