1. White wing gun-jumpers who bring up South Chicago as the rationale for lax gun laws,

have never been, and will never go, there.

2. I read when adjusted for population it's about the same as an area near trumps beloved Mar a Lago

but ..Chicago !

3. That as bad as the old Al Capone saw.

4. I'm impressed

The big, bad cities of New York, Boston and Los Angeles aren't on that list.

I wonder why. (snark)

5. I just did a data analysis report on violent crime in Chicago

Did you know that all violent crime (as defined by the FBI) in Chicago has dropped by over 50% since 2001? And first degree murders have been at the same rate save for the surge in 2016.

6. Wow

Is your report posted?
Good job!

7. My experiences would say you're likely correct.

When I think of Chicago issues, it's normally in the realm of political corruption and the faces I see are white.

8. ...not to mention the home of the Obamas.

I'm sure that never crossed their minds...

9. You most likely nailed it.

And the Street running by his Hotel had the name changed from Trump Street to something different.. Donnie does not liked to be dissed.


One very vindictive POS.

10. from a friend on fb this morning-

This is all I am going to say about this subject today, please stop bringing up Chicago as an example in the gun debate, Chicago's gun rules are ineffective for the same reason a non smoking section surrounded by people using cigarettes didn't protect non smokers, the rule had to cover the whole restaurant, which is why federal sensible gun laws are being advocated.If you are going to comment something that is any variation of " you can't take everyones guns " please keep it to yourself

also, most of the guns in chi are from good ole pence's indiana.

11. Chicago Isnt Even Close to Being the Gun Violence Capital of the United States

12. Those memes tell me they're not interested in solving problems because it's easier just to mock

They do the same with economic matters as well.

[Thrill]

13. Why do they think this helps their cause?

Just more evidence, that gun laws need to be stronger
