Guns ARE heavily regulated, in fact to a degree that is easily arguable to be unconstitutional.
There's this false idea that's pushed by media that Europeans and even some Americans believe that you can just walk in with an ID into a gun shop and walk out with an AR-15 as easy as buying a birthday cake from the grocery.
We're not even allowed to own machine guns anymore when back in the day the tommy gun was actually marketed to farmers as a great defense weapon against bandits.
The most regulated cities in America are the most dangerous with guns.
Chicago, no guns allowed. New York City, no guns allowed....would you feel safer there or any of the other states and cities that have much laxer gun laws?
The reason cities have a gun problem is that, in a large part, the gun regulations are so loose.
Take Chicago, for instance. Big liberal city, gun free zones, etc. but why do we have a gun problem? Well…Indiana is right there, a state with much looser gun restrictions. You can get there with a $10 train ticket. You can buy a gun, bring it back to Chicago, and there you go. Nobody is ever the wiser.
Do you think these criminals in Chicago are getting their guns illegally? They aren’t. They’re just going to a state that is mere minutes away, making a legal purchase, and bringing them back
If Chicago allowed as lax of gun laws as Arizona or South Carolina, and every sane law abiding citizen easily got a gun, that city would be 10 times safer in a matter of days
Because, and this is a topic that goes back to if you look only at white gun violence, our gun violence is in line with European countries, Indianapolis has about the same percentage of black people compared to Chicago.
Both are about 28% black, who commit the majority of murders, so in that way I retract my statement that Chicago would be safe with lax gun laws.
Now we're talking about the cultural problem of violence in the black community which is not fixable with legislation (although eliminating incentive for welfare queens would do much good), but needs many things, such as fathers to stay with the home, get a job any job rather than resort to crime.
That community needs to repent and accept Christ, there's really no fixing that community apart from that.

Then why isn't Indiana known for its murder?
Because Indiana ISNT a gun free zone.

Indianapolis has had similar murder rates to Chicago.
You’re comparing cities to states, instead of cities to cities.
