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.

[Farmer Dean]

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

[cquiggy]

500 Homicides with 500 stolen guns. What we need are more gun laws.

'Tragic number': Chicago reaches 500 homicides

How many by legal gun owners?

[hole_n_one]

[mykroar]

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.)

[ElkGroveDan]

tragic number that is reflective of the gang violence and proliferation of illegal guns

We need to ban illegal guns.

[Red_Devil 232]

Funny and Everybody in Afghanistan has a weapon!

[Red6]

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.

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.

[davisfh]

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.

[terycarl]

gang trash killing gang trash....other than the fact that the taxpayers have to pay for the buriels....who cares??

It seems like Chicago needs some community organizing. I know of a community organizer, and if they can hold out 4 more years...

[kearnyirish2]

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.

[kenmcg]

Urban renewal Chi style.

[PghBaldy]

I dare a lot of these people are not good people (gangbangers).

[Oratam]

In NYC, Bloomie takes credit for low homicide rate, yet no one in Libdom will hold The Rahmfather accountable for this shameful milestone.

[SledgeCS]

If Chicago is an example of how effective gun bans are, the Libs have Zero chance of convincing the gun owners that they are right.

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.
