So... Gun Control Really Works?

In Illinois, they have some of the strictest gun control in the country.  No Concealed carry permits are issued to citizens, and the state DOES NOT recognise any permits from other states.  
And, when a firearm is being transported, it must be unloaded and enclosed in a case. 
To legally possess firearms or ammunition, Illinois residents must have a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card, issued by the state police.

So How does this happen...?

All this happened in ONE DAY!

So Gun Control reduces violence, huh? 
Give me a break...

Guns are inanimate objects! 
They just lay there until a person picks them up.

GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE... PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!

Removing guns from law abiding citizens doesn't create a safer city...
It creates a city of slaves!
