Chicago Police Superintendent, when he’s not drunk shooting out street lights, loves to call for more gun control to make up for his department’s inability to keep Chicago’s residents (and visitors) safe from violent crime in Chicago.
In all fairness, his men are doing a pretty decent job trying to keep a lid on things. They are fighting some pretty entrenched criminal culture in the Windy City.
McCarthy ignores the real problems, and instead calls for more gun control laws like a one-trick parrot or a broken record.
“GUN CONTROL! GUN CONTROL!” squawk!

Chicago police superintendent calls for more gun laws after deadly weekend
Ten people were killed over holiday weekend despite increased police presence. Garry McCarthy says flow of guns into the city must be stopped
Hey Garry: Guns Save Life Chicago meetings right on your border are completely safe. We attribute that to dozens of card-carrying good guys packing more than their good guy card.
What Chicago needs, Garry, is more good guys with guns, not more gun control.
How bad was it in Chicago on Independence Day?
(Chicago Tribune) – From 9:20 p.m Saturday until 4:45 a.m. Sunday, 30 people were shot across Chicago, three of them fatally, including Amari.
The other victims included a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl shot shortly after midnight as they walked in Old Town, and a 19-year-old man shot around 10 p.m. Saturday as two groups fought near Navy Pier after the fireworks display.
Yeah, nothing like dodging bullets in addition to pedestrian and vehicle traffic following the fireworks display.
Welcome to Chicago, home of the rich and vibrant criminal culture.
And a by-and-large disarmed victim pool.
I actually saw Mcstreetlights say something that made sense talking about the 7yr old killed this weekend. The father was a gang member with IIRC 45 arrests and convictions, 20 page rap sheet and the probable target when his son was killed. McItiot actually said that if the father was in jail where he belonged the son would probably be alive today. I think very little of the man and most out of his mouth is garbage but I will give him some credit on this one. Jim.
45 arrests, huh?
What an outstanding member of the community.
Anyone NOT want to put dad on a deadpool list for next year? Assuming he makes it to 2016.
There are many bird brained politicians and political appointees in that neck of the woods.
I had a Blue and Gold Macaw (bird pictured) that had more brains than the po-po chief and all the chitcago poloticians put together! I sometimes called him “bird brain” as a play on words, but he was very intelligent.
