Gun laws don't lower violent crime or even make guns harder to obtain. SHOCKER!

No. 25: Chicago, Ill.
Neighborhood: Washington Park
Chicago makes four appearances on this list, and it's no wonder. The city saw a jaw-dropping 515 homicides last year -- about 19 for every 100,000 residents, according to RedEye.
Crime in Washington Park has been falling over the years, reports The Chicago Tribune, but the area has seen 13 robberies and four assaults in the last month alone.
Found within zip code: 60637
Violent crime rate (per 1,000): 65.77
Chances of becoming a victim here (in one year): 1 in 15
No. 16: Chicago, Ill.
Neighborhood: North Auburn Gresham
There are several reasons for Chicago's high violent crime rate. Guns are cheap and readily available. There's no Level I trauma center in the city's dangerous South Side. An overwhelming number of residents are poor, and too many are unemployed.
Found within zip code: 60620
Violent crime rate (per 1,000): 73.05
Chances of becoming a victim here (in one year): 1 in 14
No. 13: Chicago, Ill.
Neighborhood: North Lawndale
Crime seems to be trending down in North Lawndale, according to The Chicago Tribune.
No one was murdered there in the last month, though there were 17 homicides in the last year. However, there were 92 thefts, 24 burglaries and one arson in the neighborhood over the last month.

No. 4: Chicago, Ill.Neighborhood: Northeast Auburn Gresham
The Auburn Gresham neighborhood has its share of boarded-up shops and foreclosed homes, according to WBEZ.
Just a few streets down from the area identified by NeighborhoodScout, a 13-year-old boy was shot twice in his back last year while riding a bicycle down the street, according to The Chicago Tribune. He was in stable condition at the hospital after the shooting.

Do not confuse the libs with facts and logic, they can't handle it

Your facts are unwanted here. Only emotions.

There was an interesting bit done by John Oliver on the Daily Show about the success of sweeping gun regulation in Australia. It was a three part bit (I think last Tues - Thurs).
I think it does a good job pointing out that gun regs can have a substantial impact on reducing gun violence if a genuine effort is taken by all parties involved.
It also refutes your point that gun reg don't and never will work
Y'all ought to at least watch it.

I prefer to not be dependent on the government for my safety. Thanks though.

Even if it was successful, the "success rate" of gun regulation is EXTREMELY low. Look at other countries that have had it and how many times it has lead to genocide. You won't be surprised.
I respect your opinion but you don't have many facts supporting your points, dude.
EDIT: I also cannot stand the term "gun violence" because to me, violence is violence, and humans will be violent with anything. Attaching a tool to it makes it no more or less violent. You could just as easily be focused on "knife violence", which in America is statistically more likely to happen to you than being shot by a rifle.

Not interested in giving up my god given rights to protect myself. Governments don't Give rights they RECOGNIZE them. Therefor they cannot be taken away since it wasn't theirs to give or take.
I pray you never have a run in with a burglar or killer because you may not be able to help yourself

I don't want to do what Australia did. They took the pussy way out. We are the United Damn States of America and we like guns and beer and V8 power and titties.
If they want us to go around being the world's police, don't tell us how to run our shite.

Because you're not responsible for your own actions, it's much easier for them to blame an inanimate object. Being poor is no excuse either, where were all the rampant murders during the Depression?

The time right after Australia banned guns violent crime skyrocketed
