I've got to say, in this case I disagree. I'm not commenting on gun laws or gun rights, but I think the problem is the weak sentencing and enforcement of just plain laws. One of the perps has 21 prior arrests and it is weak gun laws to blame? Why isn't the guy in jail? Gang members are better at taking guns? Let's prosecute and jail the gang members...

Tribbey: I believe, as long as Justice Dreifort is intolerant toward gays, lesbians, blacks, unions, women, poor people, and the first, fourth, fifth, and ninth amendments, I will remain intolerant toward him! [to Ainsley] Nice meeting you

I agree with you about the lack of law enforcement and sentencing. But it's also a death sentence to the witnesses who dare report the gang members' involvement to the police, making enforcement an even more difficult problem.

This article (a bit over a year old) from the New York Times talks about just how strict the gun laws in Chicago really are: Strict Gun Laws in Chicago Can’t Stem Fatal Shots. You're right, the police chief is off base on this one.
