Unbelievable!, just unbelievable. OTOH, considering the source and the location, it is not surprising.

It's beyond me how they continue to blame the actions of these thugs on weak gun laws. I've been here in Illinois visiting for the last month and I feel more unsafe being disarmed than I ever have in my life growing up here. It's way worse than is even reported it seems like.

Two relevant satirical articles that are being shared widely here today:

No no.. This is un-possible. They have common sense gun laws to prevent criminals from having guns. Surely, that magical forcefield of signs and laws and good wishes must protect the people of Chicago from this sort of thing.

BUT are their signs in CAPITAL letters?
