Roseanna Ander, executive director of the University of Chicago's Crime Lab, backed the Police Department while noting that "it would be great if we had more resources and more could be done."
She said she understood the argument set forth in the opinion — that people in high-crime areas might believe they'd be safer with a gun in their home. But research shows that gun availability leads to more bloodshed, not less, she said.
"I understand the concern about public safety, but that is not going to get you a safer public,'' Ander said. "That is a solution that doesn't fit the problem. It's putting gasoline on a fire. What we need is more water."
Ander said that rather than put more guns on the street, policies and strategies that "reduce the availability of guns (rather than) increase the availability of guns in these high-crime areas" should be considered. -- "Court took cheap shot at city's crime rate, Chicago officials contend.

More guns lead to more bloodshed.
Whose blood?
Attended the Chicago Crime Commission's 2012 edition Gang Book roll-out conference Friday, January 27.
In the Chicago Police Department speaker's attempt to downplay the level of street gang organized crime firearms related violence, a fact emerged: Chicago's firearms murder rate is the same as it was 1960.
Chicago's 50+ years of gun control efforts has NOT reduced firearms related murders.

YEEESH! LA didn’t even MAKE the list! Wow...
Greetings OneLoyalAmerican,
I doubt that facts will get in the way of the desire for gun control in Chicago.
I am always interested in such events though. Especially if there is any national news that comes from it.
FReegards,

“Botswanna Anders”...I laugh...yeah...I laugh.
Whose blood?
Why, it’s the blood of poor innocent gang bangers. Every one of them is just misguided and hung out with the wrong crowd. Every one of them was trying to turn their life around. < /sarcasm>
Just ask their mothers.
