People love to bring up Chicago and say that it proves gun control is ineffective. It is ineffective because you can drive 30 minutes outside the city, buy an arsenal of weapons and bring them into the city with no one stopping you. If you make them illegal, then it stops the weapons from being made and sold. Not too many people have the equipment, materials, and skills t make their own guns. If you don't make them (or only allow for military use) then it would be very effective. Unfortunately this is unlikely to ever happen as powerful interest groups would stage a rebellion if I ever happened an use "freedom" to con the a significant part of the population to fight an die so these gun manufactures can continue to make mass profits and continue the destruction
