Chicago is the worst for a lot of things. Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

Interesting, I wonder if there is a statistically significant correlation coefficient to gun violence.

If so, maybe as an additional Presidential Executive Order we should have a program to exterminate bedbugs so as to control gun violence. Would make about as much sense as limiting the size of magazines and banning certain firearms because of cosmetic features.

Will anyone in the MSM have the guts to ask Mayor Rahm Emanuel for a comment on this?
