Law-abiding citizens do not commit gun crimes. Why take their guns?
Despite its ban, Chicago tops the nation in confiscated firearms. Last year, Chicago police seized about 7,400 guns and received 6,000 at voluntary turn-ins. Over the past decade, Chicago police have confiscated an average of 10,800 guns per year. Chicago Police spokeswoman Monique Bond sees the high confiscation numbers as evidence that guns are ubiquitous here: "Anyone can get a gun," she says. "You can get a gun like you can get expensive sneakers." But she insists those statistics also reflect that law enforcement has been aggressively cracking down on guns in the city.
