Another Day, Another Data Point Showing Chicago Gun Control Is Worthless

I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not. While I enjoyed all the time I ever spent in the city of Chicago, that was when I was 20 and loved the overall excitement of such a famous city. It was also not something I'd want to repeat now, even without all the crime, but the crime certainly doesn't help. Neither does the gun control that was supposed to stop all that crime.
Obviously, it hasn't.
Despite decades of anti-gun efforts by Illinois lawmakers, mostly from Chicago itself, the gun laws have not done what proponents claimed. And, in fact, we have yet another data point showing just how ineffective those laws actually are.
Four people are facing felony charges after sheriff's police recovered guns and drugs while serving a search warrant at a home in Chicago's south suburbs last month.
Harvey search leads to four arrests
What we know:
According to the Cook County Sheriff's Office, investigators executed a search warrant around 7 a.m. on July 23 in the 100 block of West 147th Street in Harvey.
The warrant followed an investigation into suspected narcotics sales at the home, which authorities said is located near a daycare center.
Inside the residence, investigators recovered:
11 firearms
105 grams of suspected cocaine
More than 900 grams of suspected weed
The guns consist of two AR-style firearms, one a pistol and the other a rifle, one AK rifle, a lever-action rifle, six semiautomatic handguns, and a revolver.
