Because the left isn't looking to ban gun ownership, but to tighten restrictions.
Ban all assault weapons, to start.

You mean after everyone trying to keep guns on the street are dead? Yes. That future generation will grow up in a country without mass shootings, or the most gun murders in the developed world, if we ban guns now (and not just ban them in one city).

In 2010, the SCOTUS invalidated a Chicago citywide ban on handguns in McDonald v. City of Chicago.

In 2012, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals struck down an Illinois law banning carrying loaded weapons in public, http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Court-Invalidates-Illinois-Gun-Laws-183017841.html

In 2014, a federal judge ruled th ...[text shortened]... guns came from parts of Cook County outside the city, where gun dealers and gun shows are legal.
The point was, whether they have a gun ban or not you get the same results.

Of course, you would argue that this is only because there is not a nation wide ban on guns because they all seem to come from other states.

So why not answer Sleepyguys question, why does the democrat party not run on a platform to ban guns?

No. A permanent ban.

I kinda morphed something I saw on King of Queens. Deacon told Arthur " play on player". Are you mad at me for some reason?

No. I just expect better wit from posters trying that hard to be aholes. Study fishead's or whodey's posts. If you're going to be a d!ck, at least be entertaining.

I don't know much about fishead but how in the world can you say whodey is an a hole. His posts are very courteous even when he gets slammed. Dream on dreamer got right to the point all wit aside.

Whodey is not an ahole, but he's witty. Fishead is a certified, grade-A delux asswipe. But he can garner a chuckle or two.

SG's question was adequately answered by vivify.

Another point that could be raised is why you insistently make false claims. There is no "gun ban" in Chicago nor does the Democratic Party anywhere seek one.

Hear it directly from Obama himself: he, nor the Democratic party, want eliminate gun ownership.
