Hey guys, Im writing a paper about gun control in America for school.
I want to start the paper off talking about the two girls who were killed in Chicage back in March and how everyone started screaming for an Assault Weapons Ban in Illinios after the shootings. I want to show how an AWB would not have saved these girls.

The WASR-10 that was used in the first shooting was purchased from a dealer in Indiana. The shooter used an Indiana ID and a fake Indiana address to buy the gun. So obviously an AWB in Ill wouldnt have helped in this situation since this guy broke a couple of laws and illegally acquired the gun in another state anyway.
The reports Im reading about the second shooting vary a bit.
Phillips is suspected of firing a TEC 9 machine pistol
Police also say the weapon used in the shooting was a Tech-Nine assault weapon, which is considered illegal in this country.
Although some officials have described the gun that killed Siretha as also being an assault weapon, sources familiar with the investigation said forensic testing suggests the gun was a Glock pistol that may have been equipped with a large ammunition magazines.
I know Chicago has a handgun ban already.. apparently that didnt save this girl. If it was a full auto tec-9, it most likely was illegal anyway..
What is the legality of owning a Semi-Auto Tec-9 in Chicago? Are they considered handguns too?
