State's law of preemption hobbles cities' attempt to address gun violence

[DonP]

11. 45 shot and 8 more dead this weekend - thank heavens for preemption in Chicago

Come to Chicago, it has exactly the gun laws you seem to crave. No overriding state laws to get in the way of gun ownership, voting rights or anything else.

The city has all the ability it needs to pass and enforce about any restrictions it wants regarding firearms, both outside and inside the home. No concealed carry, except for the crooked alderman and friends of Rahm that are made "Special Deputies".

Why compared to Washington, it must be a paradise here!

That's why I'm a little confused over how this past weekend totalled up another 8 dead and 45 shot and injured for a record 60% increase over last years totals for the same period.

It must be the guns, since it couldn't be Daley and Rahm's fault for pulling over 1000 street cops from the roster of the CPD and dumping all the gang crime units.

Let's just blame those evil bastards in Indiana or those target shooters downstate.

Please tell us what we should do next here, as far as laws go oh all knowing one?
