Monday Chicago Handgun Murder of the Week

As Dan has his "Monday Morning Blues" we will have the Chicago "Monday morning handgun murder of the week". The point of this depressing column is to show how ineffective the city of Chicago's handgun ban is at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, while making sure that law-abiding citizens can't defend themselves.

According to this article:

A 42-year-old parolee with a long rap sheet was charged with fatally shooting a 16-year-old boy outside of a Far South Side convenience store last week... His accused killer -- currently out on parole -- also has numerous arrests and felony convictions, including a 2007 conviction for weapon possession by a felon.

This sad event has it all - even when the city of Chicago attempts to use the handgun law to keep a violent felon off the street, he gets released and commits a murder.
