Gun-control opponents love to cite Chicago. So how does it compare to the rest of America?

0bama LIVES there-supposedly. You’d think he’d say something to ‘his crew’ there.

Great article! I’m sure this makes everyone shot to death and their surviving friends and relatives feel much better about themselves and the pride they have in their “gun-free” hometown!

WP misses the point.

Using Chicago as an example, because it embarrasses zero and Rahm. What are the crime investigations telling us, not just about mass shootings, but also the more numerous ones and twos?

Are the weapons obtained legally?

If so, then we have a behavior problem not a gun access problem.

What can we do about the behavior?

That picture is so disturbing on a number of levels. From the ballerina hunkering over as he shovels that stuff into his pie-hole, to the two kids behind him acting as ‘security’. Disgusting.

Funnel cakes are dry as a chip. He must have just washed
it down with spit; but even then, YUK! Not enough
spit in the whole town to wash that stuff down! Guess
they’ll have to stop at the coke tent and get him a
drink.
