A couple of problems with your 'hilarious' lamo)response
1) Cicero ain't Chicago, it is the same urban area but it is a separate municipality
2) As Cicero is part of the same urban area, local police probably coordinate with Chicago police. It is less likely that a Chicago resident could legally purchase a firearm that falls under the restrictions in Chicago law. 'Street' buys could be done in Chicago - so why drive to Cicero.
3) Driving an hour out of the city puts a gun buyer into a region with less thoughts about complying with Chicago law or statutes.
4) Mentioning Cicero as an attempted rebuttal of my earlier point about the lack of a fence around Chicago just kinda, you know, totally destroys your original point about how Chicago has super-strict laws regarding gun ownership and yet has a very high murder rate. So what is your point?
Laws on gun ownership in America don't do any good in suppressing gun crime because Americans can travel freely, therefore - why bother? Is that what you are trying to say? or perhaps there is some other motive behind you referring to Chicago's crime problem. ?????
It means slow one, that gun control hurts law abiding citizens and enables higher criminal activity. And if you want to get technical I could buy a gun 2 blocks from the Magnificent Mile with little or no effort. You definitely need to remove your blinders.
