Gun laws if used as an argument will only prove lax gun laws outside Chicago is the reason for the crime...not gun laws within Chicago. To fix there problems you need to fix the root cause...poverty and then work to stop the import illegal guns.

How can lax gun laws in low crime areas be blamed for gun crime in Chicago? That defies logic. Blaming the gun for dirt bags actions is the same as blaming skateboarders for your perch problem. Doesn't really work.
I have to agree fixing poverty will help everyone. Good luck with that though.
