Chicago Mayor Lightfoot blames Pro Gun States & AR-15s for Gun Violence Spiking in Chicago
This video critically analyzes Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's statements blaming 'Pro Gun States' and AR-15s for the city's gun violence. The content argues that this is a misdirection, pointing to a 2017 Gun Trace Report which indicates handguns, not assault weapons, are predominantly used in Chicago crime. The video highlights that these handguns are often straw-purchased from other states, rendering bans on AR-15s ineffective. It also questions the efficacy of universal background checks when original purchasers pass them. The speaker criticizes the mayor's perceived lack of accountability and hypocrisy regarding constitutional rights.
