About this listen

Suffecool and Campbell critique Chicago's gun buyback programs, arguing they incentivize theft and crime due to no-questions-asked policies. A Glock turned in during an event reappeared in a shooting that killed a woman, prompting a lawsuit against the city and police department. The gun vanished from evidence, allegedly stolen by an officer later murdered by her partner, raising suspicions of a cover-up involving mishandled tags and discarded evidence.

The hosts discuss corruption in Chicago's evidence room, where over 100 firearms went missing, including those from buybacks intended for destruction. They highlight a case where a missing gun was linked to a 16-year-old's crime, underscoring systemic failures in gun control measures.

Legal developments include a potential Supreme Court review of Illinois' assault weapons ban, criticized for ignoring Bruen's historical test. Suffecool notes divergent federal guidance on marijuana users' Second Amendment rights, comparing it to alcohol impairment standards. The episode promotes responsible gun ownership, urging civic involvement in zoning laws to support firearms rights and ranges.
