Murder rate in Chicago during the Reagan years was 3 times of 2013, I don't remember anyone linking Reagan to the rate back in the 80's

you are aware the city of Chicago has the most oppressive gun laws in America, and has the worse crime rate, right?

What should we pass such moronic laws nation wide so we can all suffer in solidarity.

maybe if the people in such crime hidden hellholes and teachers at Sandy Hook were not disarmed by such brain dead, felony stupid laws maybe they would be alive.

I agree with you. We need to put more guns in the ghetto, and the number of shootings will decrease.

I'd bet the amount of shootings today is just as high.

Medical advances keep the homicide rates lower.

There is a rap group from Sweden calling themselves Latin Kings. I wonder if the two know about each other?
Well if you think you see some near your area, just go up to them and ask them if they're Swedish.

The crime has nothing to do with gun laws. The laws don't disarm anyone. Everyone has heat anyway.

No I'm not. Where do you get your states from? Chicago doesn't have the highest crime rate. There are many cities and states that have relaxed gun laws that are much more violent. Get informed!

Vice had an interview with a crip leader in Memphis and he said poverty or guns didn't matter....said some people are hood people and even if they had money would still be hood. Kind of just a different culture.
