Comments on: Stop selling guns in suburbs, you’re having disparate impact https://www.overlawyered.com/2015/07/stop-selling-guns-in-suburbs-youre-having-disparate-impact/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:36:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: Robert https://www.overlawyered.com/2015/07/stop-selling-guns-in-suburbs-youre-having-disparate-impact/comment-page-1/#comment-326011 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:36:14 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=54257#comment-326011 20% of the guns? That’s high, but still that means 80%–the vast majority–weren’t from those “three suburbs”.

Let’s see: there were 9 dead and 53 wounded over the 4th of July Weekend in Chicago.

So, even assuming that this would eliminate 20% of the gun violence, we would have had 7 dead and 42 wounded.

Seems like if the people of Chicago really want to make a dent in the amount of gun violence–and I certainly hope they can and do–they need to fix their internal, systemic problem and not blame outsiders.
