13. You already have plenty of compromise.

If it never seems like it's enough, then the problem lays with you. You can't blame Chicago's gun violence on that state's gun control ordinances. The real problem is the lax gun laws in neighboring states such as Indiana, Mississippi and Wisconsin, that make it too easy to skirt around the strict gun laws in Illinois. If you live there, you should at least know that much.

Citing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives data — which shows that approximately 60% of guns used in crimes across Illinois came from out of state.

I have no pity for ignorance or whiners.
