All Shootings vs Shootings with Officer Involved in Chicago (2014-2022)

I never said 3 million gun owners, I said 3 million people who have a right to buy a gun whenever they want. A shooting committed by someone who bought their gun 3 years ago is equivalent to one committed by someone who bought their gun a day beforehand. There is no way to tell how many gun owners in Chicago there are anyway. Illinois requires you to register your guns, but Indiana is a 30 min drive away from Chicago and they have no such rules about gun registry. People moving in from other states can just not report their firearms either. And there’s a private gun blackmarket in any major city that allows you to sidestep the official process if you don’t want to register your gun for one reason or the other. Neither you nor I can tell exactly how many people in Chicago have a gun rn but I can tell you that as Americans each person there has the option to buy a gun tomorrow if they want
