As of November 23, there had been 2703 shootings which resulted in 440 deaths year-to date in heavily gun-controlled Chicago.
That is an increase of approximately 400 shootings over the same time last year.

Chicago implemented a "violence tax" at suburban Cook County gun stores in April 2013. The tax is gathered on each gun and bullet sold within the county. Then, in 2014-the first full calendar year after the implementation of the tax-the Chicago Tribune reported 434 deaths-a 19 death increase over 2013.

... but looking at the bright side ... we've got another 440 Democrat voters!
The blacks are upset at just the one police killing. The other 439 deaths do not matter. To them black lives do not matter unless a White or the police kill a black then it matters.
The problem with that is that they were very likely Democrat voters when they were alive. So it’s not like the party lost any votes.
That pretty much sums it up.
Guns deaths Chicago YTD: 440.
Traffic deaths Statewide YTD: 892.

How’s that gun control working for you, Chicago?
Rahm and his sock puppet McCarthy will tell us with a straight face that’s it’s because of lack of gun control everywhere else.
Stop and frisk. If they are serious they need to do it in the high crime areas.
...itâs because of lack of gun control everywhere else...
However, the “everywhere else” mentioned doesn’t have the shooting problems the south side of Rahmbo’s Chicago does. Anywhere.
But, the gun control excuse is the basis of the liberal agenda. Not their ideas and programs.
I don't know who keeps this site maintained, but they do an EXCELLENT job!
CNN should have a body count odometer.
Bummer.. 16% death ratio... they need training.
Laquan McDonald was actually shot in 2014 when there were 406 homicides.
Add that to the 439 in 2015 and you have 845 in the last 23 months.
Yet this is the only one of 845 killings that the black racists are this upset about.
It is my firm belief that the only thing that drives crime statistics in a given area is not gun laws, but the available number of criminals.
What is clearly needed is just one more gun law/s
That will solve the problem/s
Amen.
Remember, like Mexico, only the government and gangs are allowed to have guns and you can only tell the difference by the gang signs and uniforms!
I think it’s the ammunition. They’re probably using 115 gr FMJ 9mm target rounds, zips right through.
But... but... but... gun control works.
Really!
Almost like the criminals will also commit crimes and arm themselves anyway!
Solution is stricter gun control! That’ll show em!
