Whether it's Chicago, Baltimore, or any Small Town, America, there are higher laws that precede gun laws, I've said this before and I'll say it again, murder is, and has always been against the law, and it has been that way in the civilized world for ages, yet that hasn't stopped people from killing others.
A high percentage of murders are attributable to illegal activities, mainly drug dealing. [/color][/b]
Yep. Alot of those individuals are already breaking laws, so more gun laws will not stop them. Many of those who commit murder don't care if they live or die. For that reason, they don't mind taking someone else's life. For others, it is an attitude of "kill or be killed".
Alot of murders are attributed to drugs. Alot of murders are also attributed to anger problems. Many murders are committed during personal disputes.

Gangs are violent types. Don't want to deal with them. Alot of people do not understand that stricter gun laws don't stop the smuggling. New Jersey has the strictest gun laws in America. Interstate transport of guns is very regulated there. And it is surrounded by states with strict guns. It doesn't mean anything to criminals in Newark, Camden, or Irvington.
The statistics say that Waupun is 12.2% Black. There is a caveat here. This city is home to 3 prisons. The prisoners are counted as part of the population. This is likely the case with alot of other counties. And most of the Black prisoners in Waupun are likely from Milwaukee, Racine, Beloit, Kenosha, and Madison.
Then explain Seattle, which is as far left as you can get. It has a murder rate of 3.8 murders per 100,000. Explain Portland, Oregon, also a very left-leaning city. It has a murder rate of 4.2 murders per 100,000. Respectively, both cities have populations of 704,000 and 640,000 people. Both cities recorded 27 murders in 2017. Quite low for cities of that size.
Agreed. It's not a liberal problem. It's a black problem. It just so happens that most cities that have majority black ghettos are controlled by democrats. These shootings are mainly gang related black on black crime. The tragic results of a culture that thrives on single parent households lacking a positive male role model, no respect for authority, and a perpetual victim mentality. Until the culture changes, the problems will persist.
In the meantime, the weather will get warmer, the malt liquor will flow freely, and the ghetto will stay violent. Rest assured, BLM will be nowhere to be found, unless of course one of these thugs is shot dead by a white police officer.

Personal disputes, indeed.
No shortage of people with the emotional intellegence of a toddler.
There are lots of advocacy groups in Chicago that try to help these youth and stop the violence, and always have been.
Most people who talk about Chicago's gun violence are not from here, have never lived here and don't know what's going on, and also don't know these shootings are gang-related and are gang-on-gang (60% are gang or gang narcotics related) or domestic violence and confined to certain areas. Armed robbery is a small percentage.
Why are white people so concerned about the shootings in Chicago, especially when white people are the least affected by them? Are you concerned about the lives of these black youths or is this just a talking point to justify racism against blacks? When are all these people who love to bring up how horrible Chicago is going to come here to help out?
According to law enforcement, the majority of the guns used in these shootings are brought in from red states where access to purchase guns is much easier--mostly Indiana, Wisconsin and Mississippi. The guns are initially bought legally, then their way is made into the illegal gun selling market.
"Weapons recovered in Chicago were also traced back to Mississippi, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas, according to the report."
I keep hearing this gang related, gang on gang bull**** here in Detroit as well. That doesn't make it okay. Many innocent people get caught in the crossfire, we've had quite a few children shot due to drive by's. Think about that before you state it's just gang related.
Do you ever read your posts before hitting submit?? Like the Republicans are standing on the street corners handing out guns. Your thought processes are skewed.
I think the thought process of those on the left is
