My point is, the reason the left are not outraged is:
Because most gun victims around here are innocent blacks in the hood or gang bangers.
That is why they don't care as much. It's almost like the attitude is; "This is how black people in Chicago are".
The white liberals around here lives on the North Side in expensive apartments with one or more roommates, and safe from all the crap going on down south or south west of them.
Yes, and because Black Lives really DON'T Matter to liberals.
What do you mean some liberals have been pushin for a gun ban which would indefinitely protect black lives but that would affect the entire nation. So some liberals do care it’s more like conservatives would rather high gun violence in Chicago so everyone gets to keep their deadly weapon to protect themselves from the government. Most of the liberals who call out for gun bans stopped trying after years of conservatives pushing back as well as more moderate liberals. Also it is probably to late for a complete gun ban and their is of course the question of uncostitutionality.
Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US. The result: the criminals have guns, so the gun homicide rate remains VERY high.
Gun bans do absolutely NOTHING but increase the number of soft targets among those who abide by such laws.
CRIMINALS DON'T OBEY LAWS.
A gun ban is useless if you border an area that has free reign. Now look at countries were guns are almost completely banned. If their are no guns to steal, because no one has them, their are no gun stores to rob then how are you going to get guns. Try to bring them over the border or try to steal them from government. Localized gun bans are pointless but national ones aren’t for DEVELOPED nations.

The gang-bangers do not target 'soft-targets', they target other gun-carrying gang members. Too often by-standers also get hit.
I am pro-2nd, but it is ridiculous to suggest that allowing every gang member to freely buy guns in WallMart would somehow reduce the number of guns in criminals hands.
It is also ridiculous to claim the homicide rate is high because of the gun laws. It would be high either way as long as the gangs control certain neighborhoods. The good news is that the homicides in that City has been reduced by almost half in few decades.
