24. Chicago has a gun ban yet has a murder rate 3x the national average.
You can ban civil rights just because it make the job easier (however in this case it is both a injustice AND has no effect on reducing crime/violence/murder).
The only person Daley was keeping guns from was the law abiding like the plantiff in the case.
I'd say that this isn't a mistake on his part. They really do believe that this is an option.
Far be it for me to defend a DUmbass but in full context of what he is saying I think he is ridiculing gun-grabbers for wanting to take the easy way out when dealing with crime. As evidence note how he states Chi-town has a higher murder rate even with such draconian laws. He also calls gun ownership a civil right and his criticism of Daley.
For the most part Statistical is a jackass but he has this one right.
That also means you're right since Stat is noting some libs do in fact believe that restricting civil rights is a cheap substitute for difficult law enforcement.
