this is a meme thread not a crybaby bitch thread
post funny memes or STFU and GTFO
That's the how.Because all guns are first purchased by legal non-criminal owners who then buy, sell, and trade firearms until it eventually falls into the wrong hands.
That's the how.
I'm asking you if you know the "why".
I'm curious how much thought you've actually put into your own positions.
Also an education and a job opportunity problem, while still being a gun problem.
Many factors contribute to violent cultures and we need to tackle them all if we really want to rid the country of them.
It's what we call "nuance".
No, I already addressed that.
There are less people and crime and drugs, and better education in those regions.

No, not even close.
Here's some material to help you get closer to the actual reason:

The public education in Alabama and Mississippi is better than in Illinois? No...
It isn't a job problem. There are far more poor, jobless white people living in trailers and they don't resort to murder at the level of urban blacks.
It is a parenting problem, and a cultural problem.
It doesn't matter how good a school is if a child is raised to not care about education. It doesn't matter how many jobs there are if a child is raised to be a disrespectful piece of shit.
The education/job bullshit is just an excuse for people who raise disgusting and violent children.
They're better than the city of Chicago.
I think the results are obvious.
Two Chicago public schools are ranked among the best in the nation. Mississippi and Alabama are among the bottom five statewide.

There are more people living in Chicago than nearly the entire state of Mississippi.
Some parts of Chicago are amazing places to be. Many others are not.
Yes. If you work hard or are talented Chicago grants you many more opportunities than most places in the US.

Fun fact,
40 states have higher per capita gun death rate than Illinois.
Here is the top 10.
State Rate
Alaska 19.59
Louisiana 19.15
Alabama 17.79
Mississippi 17.55
Wyoming 17.51
Montana 16.94
Arkansas 16.93
Oklahoma 16.41
Tennessee 15.86
New Mexico 15.63
Ok. You realize I'm arguing FOR Chicago and Illinois, right?

Thought this was a meme thread?
There's been a billion gun control threads, go bicker in one of those.
