I may be mistaken but Chicago may actually have more shootings nowadays than back when the murder totals were 900+ in the 80's and early 90's. Advances in trama care has also aided in the survival rate of shooting victims today.
I don't have the data from the 80s and 90s, but shootings are way down since the early 00s. I'm talking about cut in half some years, and down by about a 1000 even last year, a year in which the city saw homicides rise.
No National Guard is needed in Chicago, When Chicago was having 900+ murders is when it was needed. 400-500 homicides is over done by the media to take light off deeper issues at hand.
Chicago is still a world class city,Cities like Detroit, Oakland, St louis,New Orleans, Compton,Newark need the real help.
18 Homicides, 52 people shot first 9 days of February in Chicago which almost more last February 2015 compare to 4 killed in NYC this February so far.

Exactly. It's not that it is any less dangerous in Chicago now than the 90's. It is just that urgent care has advanced dramatically in the last 25 years.
avoid the "you know who's" and keep yourself safe by carrying a fire-arm
Houston and NOLA where gunz ar everywhere are very safe while NYC where gunz are virtually banned is very dangerous with murders on every corners
