“We recover more guns than any city in the country every single year.”-Garry McCarthy, Chicago Police Superintendent (since 2011)

McCarthy actually blames the high rate of gun confiscation on a lack of anti-gun laws, and he pines for New York style laws: “….New York State has….an assault weapons ban, it has an extended magazine ban. It has a requirement for universal background checks for gun sales. It has a requirement to report the loss, theft or transfer of a firearm, and it has a mandatory minimum of three years in jail for illegal gun possession. None of those five items are in the laws of the state of Illinois and as a result, we seize more guns than any city in the country.”

McCarty even blames current Illinois gun laws for creating a massive flow of “illegal” guns: “…….gun possession is the gateway crime……The structure of the gun laws in the state of Illinois facilitates the flow of illegal guns into Chicago specifically….”

McCarthy is now setting his police state sights on the rest of Illinois: “….the system in the state of Illinois…..needs to change.”

McCarty admits that he’s shotgunning anti-gun action in Chicago, because he’s trying to figure out what will work best to destroy the 2nd Amendment right under the guise of reducing gun violence: “Everything that we do matters, and you don’t know which interaction it’s going to be that we’re doing. We don’t know which of those are going to make a difference, so they’re all worth the investment.”
