For years, Chicago, Illinois has been the epicenter of the gun control movement. The city has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation yet they continue to have some of the highest crime and murder rates. And it's not coincidental.
In fact, police officers in Chicago have seized more than 9,100 illegal firearms this year alone. And it could easily surpass 10,000 by the end of the year.
To help combat the problem, the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) created the Chicago Crime Gun Strike Force last year. And so far, it's made little to know difference.
What's happening in Chicago is what Second Amendment advocates have talked about for a long time. It's sad that we have to continually reference what's taking place in the Windy City.
