Gunfree Chicago: Man wounded in Englewood drive-by

Englewood is a Chicago neighborhood with about 40,000 residents, and a large amount of gang crime.

As with the rest of Chicago, It's illegal to register and own a handgun.

The man was shot during a drive-by shooting in the 6700 block of South Lafayette Avenue at 6:48 p.m., according to police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines.

The man was taken to Jackson Park Hospital with a gunshot wound to the neck and shoulder, Gaines said.

1. No doubt stolen or purchased from a "responsible gun owner" who will never be punished.

2. Lets arm everybody. Turn Chicago into a war zone like Baghdad.
That's the ticket.

3. Interesting....
....given that many US cities with "lax" gun control laws are not war zones at all. Hmmm, maybe there's some other explanation?

4. Not true. More shootings happen in Texas
Then there are now guns in bars in Arizona.
