All 3 hostages and gunman die in armed siege of Yountville veterans home in Napa Valle

I repeat 60% of the guns use in crime in Chicago, come from out of state.

"By analyzing these pairs, we found that the relationship between gun laws and firearm recoveries generally appears to be more pronounced in states with larger differences in the strictness of their gun laws. Illinois and Indiana are 28.5 points apart in our combined gun rankings, and in 2016, for every 100,000 residents of the two states combined, Illinois recovered nearly 6.5 more firearms originating in Indiana than Indiana recovered guns originating in Illinois. California recovered firearms at higher rates from neighbors Nevada and Arizona (15.5 and 40.5 points apart from California in our rankings), where gun laws are looser, while Maryland has a similar relationship with West Virginia and Virginia (each 21.5 points away from Maryland)."

There is no fucking point of having strict gun laws in Chicago, when every state surrounding it, allows people to undermine it.

Yes, cities have more crime. But then your problem is related to urbanization and inner city blight, not guns. Guns arent a problem elsewhere.

That's just wrong.

States with lax gun laws, have a higher gun death rate than others.

You're also completely dismissing the fact that guns provide the ease of killing and committing crime.

The problem in Chicago is the crime, but guns provide an easy way to facilitate it.
