It only upticked one year - 2008, and then quickly dropped back to normative levels. 2007 was a benchmark low. 2004-2007 showed the lowest in a long time. Ditto 2009-2010.
One year does not a trend make. http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime...-Illinois.html

There's a whole lot more to culture than movies and video games. Interestingly, Chicago has among the strictest gun laws in the country. Do you not think that if guns were banned large numbers of people would still get them? Really?

You've said that liberal women were shrill feminists, and liberal men were effeminate pushovers.

But now, you Conservatives are realizing that you were far off the mark, and you definitely don't like it.

So you and yours are "showing" everyone what you are made of, now?

For your information laws aren't doing the killing. And can you explain how laws will prevent people willing to take another life from doing so ?

Why are they agitating?
In the glorious People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America, everything is perfect.
If you object to government, you are obviously not well.
If you act in defiance of government, you are mentally ill.
In time, “we” may cure you and return you as a useful contributing member of the herd -ahem- society.
