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."

The death toll in Chicago would be over 2000 if the homies knew how to shoot.
500 Homicides with 500 stolen guns. What we need are more gun laws.
How many by legal gun owners?
I’m pretty sure that’s the sign of a good economy.
Posted this morning.... this is a duplicate. (A search would’ve shown it.)
And if you factor out just 4 neighborhoods the murder rate in Chicago drops by 75%.
I have been on FR since 1998 and this is the first time I have ever seen a duplicate thread. Mama you should be shamed. Shamed I tell ya.
Excuse me - I did do a search and nothing came up.
FR search is and has always and always be a joke.
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).
We need to ban illegal guns.
Funny and Everybody in Afghanistan has a weapon!
I sure as hell hope not!!!!!!
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.
Yeah and they even the evil assault weapons! OMG!
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.
Gosh...I thought Memphis, my birth and childhood city (1944),
was the murder capital with 100 per year. 95 percent, if not all, blacks killing blacks.
ROTFLMAOPIMP......that first video is hysterical and pathetic at the same time. These are the “pros” that we keep hearing about that are the only ones that should be trusted with guns. Truly scary.
I believe you...seriously. Happens all the time. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
“How many by legal gun owners?”

I would wager absolutely none.
I grew up in a suburb of Chicago. When I was a teen, my sister and I went out to dinner with our parents on the South Side. My Dad said, “Let’s look at the old neighborhood,” on Pulaski, where he grew up.
The Poles and Czechs had all moved out, replaced by guys in shower caps, drinking Colt .45.
My Dad told us to roll up the windows and lock the doors. Pretty sad.
I don’t know what the answer is—but I do know I want my 13 year-old daughter to be able to protect herself if she has to walk home late after studying in college. There’s a reason pistols were known as the Great Equalizer in the Wild West.
I have this debate all the time with my Canadian (anti-gun) family.

In Canada, there was a billion-plus gun registry that did absolutely nothing to stop crime. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws—and these are the results.
I’m very surprised that it’s that low. And, it probably isn’t that low in reality. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that “500” number is fudged.
Hi, 2nd amendment mama;
Please see my post downthread—I think it’s number 24.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Julie
Please don’t worry about posting duplicates and the complainers; the mods can fix that—and people appreciate the time and energy you took into posting this. I know I did. :)
gang trash killing gang trash....other than the fact that the taxpayers have to pay for the buriels....who cares??

LOL! :)
Happy New Year, everyone! :)
In one weekend!
What part of Canada are you in?
A quick search of the word "Chicago" would've shown the other thread ....
“And if you factor out just 4 neighborhoods the murder rate in Chicago drops by 75%.”
Why don’t Feinstein and the Chicago Police go in there and confiscate their firearms? I would love to watch that fiasco. Let’s see what real gun control looks like in neighborhoods where law abiding citizens don’t live.
I want Feinstein to lead the raids...stupid hag.
Thank you for posting this thread — I looked for one earlier today and didn’t see it either. So, I was waiting for the thread.
The search function doesn’t work very well and the moderators have said that they don’t care if you post a duplicate story if it has been more than four hours since the last one. Ignore the whiners, I’m glad you posted this or I wouldn’t have seen it.
Pretty good article, I hadn’t seen it yet.
As a matter of fact, I may post it again after while. That would sure get certain panties in a wad now wouldn’t it?
It seems like Chicago needs some community organizing. I know of a community organizer, and if they can hold out 4 more years...
I love these stories from Obamavilles; can I get a Jamie Foxx “lord and savior” shout-out?
People should cheer these stories with as much enthusiasm as the permanent underclass cheers Foxx & co.
Urban renewal Chi style.
For future reference, the trick I’ve found is to search for one key word in the article title, like “homicides” in this article’s title, for example.
The search is one of several things that needs development here. I hate using Google when I really want to find something.
What an impact our dear leader has had as a community organizer in his home town. He has a track record the scumedia ignores
I dare a lot of these people are not good people (gangbangers).
Some of us hadn’t seen it so glad it was posted again.
They hold the handgun like that because that’s the way it comes in the box.
I use the search function to find articles that likely don't exist....
Me, too. I don’t understand why anyone gets upset that an article has been posted more than once. Who cares? If you’ve already seen it, keep scrolling. Some people are wound way too tight!
I heard that you have to hold your pistol sideways in Chicago to properly correct for windage.
In NYC, Bloomie takes credit for low homicide rate, yet no one in Libdom will hold The Rahmfather accountable for this shameful milestone.
When the gun free hellhole called Chicago can go 1 full year without and gun deaths by non-police then I might listen but until then Molon Labe.
