>The department, which says it takes more illegal weapons off the street than any other local police force in the United States, said that it took a record 12,088 guns off the street in 2021.
I don't know who knows this and who doesn't but getting a legal gun in Illinois (especially Chicago) is very hard; Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) cards have 6-12 month wait times. On the other hand, in Indiana it's open season (so to speak)
>Indiana is a shall-issue state with Licenses being issued by the Indiana State Police. There is no License required to purchase a firearm, and firearms do not need to be registered.
This is a fact that is very conveniently omitted by the right-wing media when they castigate democrat run Illinois.
