More Window Dressing for Chicago
Chicago has big trouble with violence, yet has the most stringent gun control laws in the nation. The answer: more gun control. Its Public Health Committee of the state Senate quickly approved bills that would ban the sale of semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines during the lame-duck session, but it seems to be going nowhere.
