Shortly after I point out the obvious; the vast majority of these murders are black on black killings. Yet BLM stands silent. No protesting, rioting, screaming or rock throwing. They save that for harassing 75 year old Trump supporters.

Surely background checks, waiting periods and mag limits would have prevented this.

If the murders keep increasing, eventually the problem will resolve itself without intervention.

Other large urban centers also trending upwards.
Wait a sec, who is the mayor of Chicago?


Didn't he get run out of town?


Obama's hometown he says today. If Rahm and Obama can't control the problem, expect their center of excellence for gun control and social programs, chicago to be riolled out by the whitehouse as the plan for the rest of the country. The only missing link to solve Chicago's problem, or change Chicago's culture, is a helping hand from the media to proclaim, 'chicago is a more tranquil place today'. Worked for the ME when Kirby proclaimed peace on earth.


Ah, here it is..... the media comes to the rescue


The Truth About Chicago's Falling Murder Rate

Eric Boehlert | Posted 06.19.2013 | Media
Read More: Fox News, National Rifle Association, Chicago, Chicago Gun Violence, Chicago Gun Laws, Chicago Murder Rate, Media News
There's been surprisingly little media discussion about whether Chicago's strict gun laws, routinely ridiculed by the right-wing, might actually be working. While it's difficult to determine why crime rises and falls, to blame a policy when rates rise and ignore it when they drop doesn't make sense.
........
"But note what these commentators are careful not to mention while using the killings to make a political point: They didn’t mention that homicides in “Gun Control Chicago” are down dramatically this year; a trend that undermines the attack that the Second City stands as the ultimate symbol of gun enforcement failure."


august 2013.....
"The recent bloody headlines out of Chicago relayed the sad tale of the city’s deadly weekend, where seven people were killed in shootings and more than 50 were victims of gunfire. Thanks in part to news coverage, America’s third largest city has become synonymous with runaway gun violence, and especially deadly weekend shootouts."

Wait, how can you be "poor" and still have a car capable of driving to a neighboring State, AND have enough cash for a weapon? Something doesn't add up.
