Almost 300 murdered in Chicago so far this year

[Boston Boy]

Record breaking?

Considering the "record" is over 900, no. Just higher-than-average. (And I'm sure someone there will blame it on the ruling that their draconian gun laws are draconian....)

 

[tommypotatoes]

None of them were shot by anyone in possession of a legal weapon. Go figure...

I was attempting to stay within 15 character minimum limit. Should have thought harder, knew that yearly number was higher, but was never good at cutlines.

They have to learn how to report crime there like NyC then the murder rate would be lower.I think its only murder here if they find the suspect. thisis why our crime rate is soooo low.reported crime is the key !

First year I was in Houston they had 935 murders, 1975. Most in the nation that year I think.

This is propaganda. Firearms are severely restricted in Chicago to protect the public from crime.

Wasn't Obama one of the main people in controling gun laws of Chicago?

The year is just a bit more than half over, they still have time!

No, he wasn't. He never held any office in Chicago. Where do you get your information?

 

[buckey01]

No he didn't hold office. He was a community organizer which can best be described as a trouble maker and rable rouser. He is and always was in favor of gun confiscation.

 

[dmaxx3500]

he was a state senater,he helped write laws and voted

How true! Those murders must have been committed by throwing bullets at the victims.

Funny how the anti-gunners ignore that gorilla in the room. Huh?

 

[fuhr52]

Let's see Chicago, Liberal feel good and good intentions democrat rule for how many years? Throw in the crime syndicate from the 1920's and you have utopia right? Chicago is the type of America the democrats strive for.

 

[JohnLM]

Maybe if they'll allow CCW the number of killings will go down!!!

 

[Ozarker]

Some maybe. Most of their shooting is gang related. These folks don't qualify for a CCW.

Obama and his Chicago friends are trying to do for the entire US what they have done for Chicago. How wonderful it will be when this country becomes a gun free paradise. The thieves, rapists, and murders will no longer have to worry about death or injury while they are trying to earn a living.

Until they come to my house. I have no intention of giving up any guns that I have.

He voted present and did not write one law.
