Only 8 dead however. People in Chicago apparently have horrible aim.

But wait, aren't there strict gun control laws in Chicago? How is this happening?

Loose gun laws in Indiana. Lowest common denominator. There's always an Alabama or an Indiana lurking just around the corner.

I wonder how many guns there are in Chicago in relation to its population?

Houston isn't quite as big as Chicago but I'll bet there are a lot of guns in Houston.

Also, gun violence has nothing to do with gun laws.

Chicago is in the USA which has the slackest gun laws in the Western world - the only one with thriving gun culture and huge appetite for violence.

Yeah but those guns are still illegal in Chicago. Don't you know that making things illegal solves everything?

Negroes, amirite?

If MOAR guns = MOAR gun violence the way you seem to think it does then the numbers would bear that out. If the numbers don't support the presumption then maybe that presumption is subject to challenge.

Cool; I look forward to white Christian women dying with coat hangers dangling from them!

It's a dumbass gotcha falsehood that doesn't hold water, that has been repeated ad nauseum by idiots like GromsDad and other gun turds.

I'm glad you joined them, that's where you belong.

City laws mean nothing without federal laws. Guns can flow unimpeded.

More importantly, the obsession and love affair with guns and gun violence is universal everywhere in the US.

A state trying to impose gun laws in such environment is comical, let alone a city.

It's akin to attempting to introduce Universal Health Care in Vermont.

Yeah Huston is such a peaceful city with all the guns.

Probably because they don't have all the negroes.

49.3% white
25.3% black
5.3% asian
16.5% "other"
37% Hispanic or Latino of any race
