So the Huff Post article says things have stayed the same? What difference does it make then?

The same state of affairs I outlined earlier- where guns end up killing the wrong people and arming the gangs. The downsides were already well stated and still in place. DJ's article shows us that even a gun control island is having an impact.

Who might have not been able to have such a bloody crime spree in the first place without such easy access to firearms.

As Pete said:

"Individual stories cut both ways.

I'd prefer to see the overall trends."

You can post anecdotes all you like (as did I) but the facts are pretty clear. If you keep a gun in your house, it's not real likely to be used to "protect" anyone, and far more likely to shoot a member of your family. Or be stolen to arm a "bad guy".

The 2nd Amendment as interpreted by the NRA and sycophant members, groups and politicians past and present is and always has been......

......a stupid idea.

You know, I could post 100 more links too. Read my last reply. Or, you know, put your head in the sand and waste the rest of your day on the google machine.

"Although murders in Chicago spiked to 516 in 2012 – only the second time homicides surpassed 500 since 2003 – they dropped to 415 last year, the lowest murder total for Chicago in nearly 50 years."
