CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says the city has logged its 500th homicide of the year.

McCarthy issued a statement Friday calling the milestone a "tragic number that is reflective of the gang violence and proliferation of illegal guns that have plagued some of our neighborhoods."

Amazing....you're safer in all of Afghanistan (398 deaths in 2012) than you are in the city of Chicago with all of it's supposed gun control.

The death toll in Chicago would be over 2000 if the homies knew how to shoot.

And if you factor out just 4 neighborhoods the murder rate in Chicago drops by 75%.

Yeah really.....hanging my head in shame. That person can just “bite me”. Just searched again using this title and my post is the only one that comes up. I guess I’m supposed to be clairvoyant and search by a different title that I don’t know so that I can find the duplicate.....idiot (not you WKB).

"Excuse me - I did do a search and nothing came up."

If I had a nickle for every duplicate I posted...well, you know the routine.

Thanks for posting...I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Well,

Maybe that's because all these guns are being smuggled to Chicago from Texas?

Maybe the ATF needs to set up a secret program and send hundreds of firearms into the hands of known bad guys in Chicago to see what happens?

The decent and polite people of Chicago would never do anything bad were it not for the seduction of a gun which takes possession of their mind and forces them to do bad things! Yes, that piece of metal, wood and plastic has mystical powers that are simply to great for an average person to resist. Only a trained professional from the TSA or DHS should be allowed with such a tempting and complex device that takes many years of training and experience to fully handle.

Please don’t try what they are doing, this takes years of experience and training! ONLY professionals should handel guns.
