Chicago has some of the toughest gun-control laws in the country. It also has a new record for shooting deaths in a single day.

The Windy City had nine shooting deaths on Wednesday — its highest rate of single-day fatalities in over a decade. On July 5, 2003, there were 10 homicides in the city. The Chicago Tribune did an extensive analysis of its records before reporting Wednesday’s grim milestone.

It may have some of the toughest gun laws in the country but that doesn't mean they can't make it tougher. That'll certainly put an end to all this killing once and for all. Oh, ooops! Maybe not. How about stricter background checks? No? Maybe some midnight B-ball? No? Maybe the msm will get involved. B on b killings? No story there. White cop kills unarmed teenager? Big story. Gay black racist newsperson kills 2 wounds 1. All 3 white. Meh.

If they can’t find a whitey to blame they drop it.

If only it was illegal for me to own guns this would never happen.

Signs - more and more “Gun Free” zone signs will make it difficult for gun violence. Soon they’ll need a map to show where they can shoot someone.

Records are made to be broken. /S

IMHO, neither looser nor tighter gun regulations will change anything in those neighborhoods. What is needed is hard justice for the perps and a cultural makeover. Easier said than done.

That's just about more killings in one day than the entire state of Wyoming, population around a half-million, had in the entire year of 2011, the year we adopted no-license open or concealed *constitutional carry.*
