36 SHOT IN 36 HOURS IN CHICAGO...CHIRAQ!

Thirtysix people in Chicago by people who illegally owned firearms without a FOID Card or Conceal Carry License. The guns were illegally purchased and possessed by criminal gang members that have been repeatedly arrested by the Police and released to commit more criminal acts. Hmmm... I think we have a problem in Chicago...revolving door judicial system. The Politicians and the Police want to blame guns... but the guns are not the criminals that keep getting released on the streets to commit more criminal acts. Why do we keep allowing the same criminals to keep on getting out with a slap on the wrist? Why do we blame a Constitutional Right for the failures of our politicians, police and courts?
