This is a model city for gun laws. Owning a gun in Chicago legally, is almost impossible, yet this city leads the nation, and the world in shootings. This city is a fine example of how gun laws work....ya, right!

Planet Of The Apes movies could be filmed there and they wouldnt need Hollywood to bring a soul, Sad Times. Gun Laws are to hurt honest people. The thugs will have them no matter what.

Oh wait. They banned all the guns.

Run away! Run away!

I say we arm all the illegal immigrants that are streaming across the border and bus them up to Chicago. Maybe build a fence around it, then send Obama in so he can press the reset button.
