Ronnor- what’s sad is that not even the newspapers are asking these questions. The mayor had a conference where he spit and shouted about how evil guns are. It does nothing but invigorate the lowest common denominator, emotional rhetoric was Hitler’s forte too. Oh and I’d feel safe without guns too when I have 24 hour police escort. The gun shop I frequent says that Daley has his own little armory, so he is a hypocrite for sure. Once the precedent is set for the DC case, you’ll see the suits come out against these unfair laws. Hell, there is a reason even Obama and HRC won’t come out against guns, it’s cause we outnumber the leftists 2:1.
I have heard anecdotal accounts of the gangs mobility too. Apparently, they are moving into the more well-to-do suburbs that collar the city limits. They find the low income housing, move in, and sell drugs to the high-schoolers. They bring all the crap that goes with gangs too: graffiti, petty crime, domestic abuse, etc… The crime rates in the suburbs will go up, but it’s concentrated in one group. Make you’re own assumptions about the demographics, ie; profiling might work.
Like I said in a previous post, it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Anyone with the ability to move to a rural locale, should. If the economy worsens, crime will go up due to desperation. Inflation will certainly inflame the problem. The only reason this city hasn’t gone down the tubes is they require the cops and fireman to live in the city limits. You’ve got million dollar condos, and crackhouses blocks from each other. Go figure.
