(36,437 posts)There are no gun factories on the South Side of Chicago.
Every illegal gun begins as a legal gun. Where? How did it get here? What are the vectors of this disease?
Look to Indiana.

(4,033 posts)I got into a rather heated argument with one of my (adult) kids. They were trying to insist that all buyers of a gun had to have a background check and that all sellers had to have a Federal licence and that the so-called 'gun show loophole' didn't exist.
Thankfully, I had my trusty computer at hand and a quick Google provided proof that just because one state has laws closing a loophole, doesn't mean that the next state over has one as well.

Oh, did I mention that this would only apply to Blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims?

Police said the two men charged with murder Darwin Sorells, 26, and Derren Sorells, 22 were both on parole and affiliated with the Gangster Disciples gang. They appeared in court Sunday and were ordered held without bail.
Derren Sorells was just released from prison two weeks before Friday's shooting. He was convicted in 2012 for a motor vehicle theft and escape from custody, but was released early. He had six felony arrests in his background. His brother Darwin Sorells was also on parole for a felony gun charge. He was sentenced to six years in prison in January 2013 and was released from prison earlier this year.
Police said the suspects were targeting a for-hire driver after exchanging unfriendly glances with the man as he drove in the neighborhood. The two later confronted the driver after he walked two women into their building, according to prosecutors. The driver told police the men menaced him and indicated they had guns. They then chased the driver as he ran away, with at least one of the men firing multiple shots that struck Aldridge.
The elder brother told detectives that the younger brother fired the shots, and Derren Sorrells also implicated himself in a statement he gave to police, prosecutors said.
...
"This reprehensible act of violence is the example of why we need to change the way we treat habitual offenders in the city of Chicago," police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said. "When will enough be enough? This tragedy isn't just noteworthy because Ms. Aldridge has a famous family member. It's noteworthy because these two offenders are the prime examples of ... repeat gun offenders who don't care who they shoot."
So far this year, more than 70 percent of the people who have been shot in Chicago were on the list, according to the police, as were more than 80 percent of those arrested in connection with shootings."
We are targeting the correct individuals, Mr. Johnson said. We just need our judicial partners and our state legislators to hold these people accountable.
