Harder to hit what you are aiming for when you hold the gun over your head and sideways...

Or it might be that some of the folks that survived getting shot are working up an immunity...

It had nothing to do with Father’s Day,
inasmuch as no one knows whose father is whose.

Just imagine what the totals would be if Chicago didn’t have such strict gun controls.

What is happening in Chicago is absolutely insane. Every week a dozen people are gunned down and scores more injured. You would think at some point those prone to violence would thin their own herd but it shows no sign of slowing. So many innocent people, poor people, are caught up in this insanity and the city and state is impotent. The root of it all is money - big money - which can be made due to the artificially high profits in the black market drug trade caused by prohibition and the WOD. We have learned nothing from the carnage caused by the 18th Amendment and have forgotten why it was repealed.
