Tragically, violence still reigns in one America’s biggest gun control havens. Maybe, just maybe, gun control isn’t as effective as its proponents want us to believe. Local WGN Morning News meteorologist Paul Konrad can’t help but wonder:

Though Konrad’s numbers differ somewhat from other reports, his point still rings true. Gun control isn’t a deterrent to violence; morality is.
