dsicntnt: Chicago... the gun-control paradise has a murder problem involving guns???

News flash to dscntnt, the 2011 supreme court McDonald decision made handguns legal in chicago, have been for 5 years now. Some form of concealed carry legal too now, 2012. Read up more on gun control in chicago. Gun control paradise?
Guns continuing to do good work in chicago, eh? Since McDonald chicago's murder rate has averaged about 6% higher (average, gone up ~15% one year it seems.)

Chicago has a reputation for strict gun laws, and gun rights advocates often point to it as proof that gun regulation doesn’t reduce violence. But its laws aren’t what they used to be: Federal courts struck down its ban on handgun ownership in 2010, and its ban on gun sales in 2014. And a New York Times analysis showed guns were easily available from nearby jurisdictions, especially Indiana.

To wit Gary Indiana which is pro gun & has oft in the past had the highest gun murder rate in the country.
