Nice try.

The shootings are all public information and reported constantly in the local news. The local media tracks the shootings on maps. There were 72 shooting in Chicago over the long holiday weekend. The majority of those shot will survive.

Gun control isn't going to happen, you can thank the rural states with their 2 senators each for that.


Yes indeed.

Regardless, there are too many gun owners on all political sides for gun control to happen.

Eyebrows are trimmed/groomed/ waxed in a particular outline that defines some gangs.
Nails are clipped and maintained in unusual forms, unique to some gangs, too.

Only low life live in these places.
On this we will disagree.
It's not all about the welfare check. If that was the goal, it would be cheaper to pay people to not have more children. Motherhood gives a lot of mothers an identity and someone who will love her.

In a "news story" I saw listed as a cause "easy access to guns". I live in a state with the easiest access to guns you can get yet the murders are confined to inner city areas. If "easy access to guns" CAUSED the shootings wouldn't my rural county have at LEAST one murder in the past four years? We have 40,000 people living here and you would think "easy access to guns" would have killed at least one of us......

They don't worry about that kind of tyranny. They exercise their constitutional right to bear arms, and a CC law in in the oven to make it even easier.

Nothing will be done about all the shootings and killings in Chicago until bullets start hitting the revenue cameras on traffic lights making them inoperative. Money is more important than a life.
