Name just one of the 290+ Chicago murder victims so far this year (obama’s homeboys and his hometown)

Chicago=twice as deadly as Afghanistan

.....The Daily pointed out in a Friday column that more Chicago residents — 228 — have been killed so far this year in the city than the number of U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan - 144 — over the same period.

The war zone-like statistics are not new. As WBEZ reports, while some 2,000 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time, based on Department of Defense and FBI data.

“...more than 5,000 people have been killed by gun fire in Chicago during that time...”

How can that be? Guns are banned in Chicago...Gun Control doesn’t work? /s
