I’m surprised it’s not more.
It’s so terribly sad that even our most eminent criminologists appear unable to find a common thread for all this mayhem. Guess it’ll just have to continue forever. Dang.
I think the numbers would be many times higher were it not for strides in emergency medicine,,,,,,,, any poor marksmanship.

Liberals kill.
It is what they do.
On the other hand, guns dont kill. They are an inanimate tools whose purpose and results are the sole responsibility of the user.
Guns in the hands of liberals, despite the liberals demonstrated poor marksmanship, results in a lot of illegal and immoral homicides.
Where does Code Pink stand on this? They were so concerned about casualties...
So, you are at least ten times safer defending our Country, than living in Chicago!

No body really gives a damn.
What is really amazing about the numbers mentioned is the extraordinarily low number of U.S. casualties. Just operating the hardware can kill military folk due to accidents, training shortfalls, and other extraneous causes. Dying in a car wreck in a combat zone is considered a combat death. I have to wonder if the number given filters that kind of stuff out.
Chicago is a mob town, and the mob is very involved in trafficking and black market organs.
