Gun laws? Oh?

Guns 1 Minute

Question arises: Why are gun laws not enforced in Chicago, where gun violence is a household word?

Answer suggests itself: Because these laws are not enforceable.

No more than anti-beer and -liquor laws were enforceable during Prohibition.

Question: Why limit this to Chicago?

Answer: I do not know.
