Handguns cannot be purchased in the city of Chicago, but more than 7,400 guns were confiscated by police last year, according to a CNN report.
Now, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy has voiced opposition to concealed carry in a city where last year more people were murdered than in Afghanistan.
“When people say concealed carry, I say Trayvon Martin,” McCarthy said.
He was speaking to a largely black audience at a Rainbow PUSH event in Chicago.
The Chicago Tribune reported McCarthy, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., local radio host Cliff Kelley and others discussed gun laws, Chicago’s homicide rate and recent mass killings in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., to a few hundred people.
McCarthy emphasized opposition to concealed carry, even though Illinois is the only statethat doesn’t permit the practice, the Chicago paper noted.
“‘Just because it’s 49 to one doesn’t mean that Illinois is wrong,’ McCarthy said.
He insisted supporters of concealed carry don’t understand the consequences.
“‘When people say concealed carry, I say Trayvon Martin,’ McCarthy said, referring to the unarmed 17-year-old who was shot and killed last February by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida, sparking controversy across the country.
“I say Trayvon Martin,” McCarthy continued, according to the Tribune, “because the answer to guns is not more guns, and just simply putting guns in people’s hands is going to lead to more tragedy.”

What a gay wad.
It’s all designed to foment a race war. Guess who’s going to win.
I am almost certain that when it ‘all comes out in the wash’ we will find that the angelic Trayvon was trying to kick a guys roll what he thought was a weaker older man and tried to get his gun. He paid for his stupidity with his life.
Let's hear you say it while someone is on top of you pounding your skull into mush!
And if you read between the lines. What he also means is that the lives, welfare and peace of mind of the citizens and residents of Chicago mean Jack-shit to the Politicians and so-called elites of that city.
When the dam break on the underlying emotions places like Chicago are going to make Beirut Lebanon in the late 70’s and early 80’s look like a tourist haven. It’s no wonder they want the Sheeple to be unarmed and defenseless.
McCarthy says “Trayvon Martin,” without actually knowing whether George Zimmerman is culpable in Martin's death - or whether Zimmerman was a victim of a vicious assault by Martin.The jury hasn’t even been picked in that case yet - if indeed it ever finally is. NBC News is liable to find itself paying for George Zimmerman’s - and his entire extended family’s - own family witness protection program. But that isn’t actually enough of a penalty for their fraud, because it has occasioned other assaults against people in other states - all of us need a witness protection program to protect us from the consequences of their fecklessness. NBC - and the entire journalism establishment centered in the Associated Press - should be sued under RICO. And, considering the reckless and malicious deceit involved in the coverage of the Martin case, NBC and the AP are culpable whether or not George Zimmerman is convicted.
OK, Chicago cops, get in there and take all the guns away from your gangs. Let us know how it goes.
Fence around the city and dump a few truckloads of guns and ammo. Problem solved.
As a matter of fact, yes, it does.
It's like saying, 50 men are marching and 49 of them are out of step.
So you agree, thugs beating up citizens should get at least one to the chest....
“When people say concealed carry, I say Trayvon Martin,”
The guy is right. One less criminal dope dealer and sneak thief,to worry about. Of course he means just the opposite ,but Trayvon Martin is one good reason to carry
“When people say concealed carry, I say Trayvon Martin,” McCarthy said.”
When people say criminal....and many other things that I shouldn’t post.........I say Garry McCarthy.

Usually appointed by liberal intercity mayors.
Their voice DOES NOT reflect the feelings of front line law enforcement.
I don’t believe the goal is a race war. The goal is to disarm law abiding citizens. Why? It gives the government control and it gives the mugger/home invader added security-no concealed carry surprises.
The government and the thugs both win. But then I repeat myself.
Funny, so do I.
