The fact that Chicago has (a) universal background checks and (b) high levels of gun crime…is not evidence that background checks don’t work. It’s evidence of the need for a NATIONAL universal background check law. 60% of Chicago crimes guns are bought out of state.
Review:
More than 2 out of 5 traceable crime guns recovered in Chicago originate with their first point of sale at an IL dealer. The remaining 60 percent of firearms come from out of state, with Indiana as the primary source for approximately 1 out of every 5 crime guns. (PDF)
Review:
This is a flat out lie. As a former Chicago resident you 100% CANNOT buy guns out of state without shipping them to an FFL in IL. Just another Democrat LIE talking point.
