My guess is since Chicago is and has been doing exactly what he claims is needed to stop gun violence, "no guns on the street, only in your home", and it's not even close to working, he'll continue to avoid responding to any factual points made.

Or we'll see the "goalposts" running down the street as he changes his stand again.

The murder rate is actually up 38% over prior years when you weren't allowed to have a firearm in your home either.

(Tip of the hat to Mr. Otis McDonald and Alan Gura & Co. for that change)
