They’re no. one!!! They’re no. one!!!!
The violence in the inner city of Chicago and other major metropolitan areas is tragic. The policies and culture that brought this tragedy home is criminal.
It’s going to be a long hot Summer in the Windy City.
A big shout out to Chi-town! Way to go! As long as you idiots continue to blame the NRA, the killings will continue. Get your heads out of your asses. It’s the people stupid! Not the guns!
This city needs an invasion of federal law enforcement but they are worried about shooting a rancher in Nevada who was just sitting in his car!! and killing Children at Mt Carmel ( 24 to be exact with tanks!!)

It’s racist to discuss this.
NYC had 2,245 murders in 1990, which is a tad more than six per day.
That was David Dinkins’ first full year in office, by the way.
What is the over-under for the year? I’m thinkin’ 700.
Problem recognized a long time ago!(1920s)
“Can not we, the dominant race, upon whom depends the enforcement of the law, so enforce the law that we will prevent the colored people from preying upon each other? ...
Here we have laid bare the principal cause for the high murder rate in Memphis—the carrying by colored people of a concealed deadly weapon, most often a pistol....
It is unspeakable that there is public sentiment among the whites that negroes should not be disturbed in their carrying of concealed weapons....
Neither do we need pistols for the protection of our homes. If we need a firearm to repel a burglar, a sawed-off shotgun with its load of buckshot is far more deadly and surer than the pistol.[29](p.602)
—Senator John K. Shields, a Tennessee Democrat
I find it rather interesting about his claim for a “sawed off shotgun”. Several years ago there was a drug raid in Chicago which netted a large amount of guns. The news showed a large number of single shot sawed off shotguns. Obviously the “A-s-s-sault Rifle” was not one of them.
Where is that Somali Peacekeeping force?
“The policies and culture that brought this tragedy home is criminal.”
Toughest gun laws in the country? Chicago is right up there at/near the top. Gun laws sure work great, right?
Why doesn’t Obimbo just go to his hometown for a beer summit with his inner city folks ? You just gotta show love .... ( Loretta Lynch )
You are right of course - their gun laws are the toughest in the country and the results speak for themselves, but this is a cultural problem and the carnage would continue even if there was not a firearm in Illinois. The PC thing to do is talk about “guns” because it makes people nervous and defensive if you address the failed culture that created this mess.
Liberalism is killing these kids and leaving the rest of the country with a huge bill that our kids and grandkids will have to pay. It’s easy to look at Chicago and derisively dismiss it along cultural lines, but think about all the wasted potential it represents. Those children could be so much more than this!
I think of the dead as fewer future demonrat voters.
Obama’s true legacy.
Being dead is no barrier to voting democrat. It’s their special interpretation of the ADA—the discarnate keep their right to vote democrat.
My post on my FB page.
I honestly hate to bring this up. It is a sad truth. And if not for the hypocrisy of the Obama administration and of the folks I know in the city of Chicago, I would remain totally silent about this. The sad truth, as revealed on Tuesday by the US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, is that all of you living in Chicago simply do not love your neighbors nearly enough. All of you in Chicago should be terribly ashamed of yourselves. This past weekend tragically marked the 300th violent murder in your city only six months into the year. Your fellow citizens of Chicago can’t even take off father’s day weekend from murdering each other, as over a 60-hour period saw 59 people shot, 13 fatally, from Friday afternoon through early Monday morning. Although oddly enough one violent shooting mentioned the use of “possibly an AK-47” assault weapon I noted that almost none, if any, of those 300 acts of violent murder in Chicago were the result of the use of an AR-15 rifle that so many of you would like to have our government unconstitutionally remove from my possession. Shockingly So far this year, about 1,800 people have been shot across the city. A total of 306 people of Chicago have been killed this year by shooting, stabbing or other means, many of them children. And even more shockingly, I have not heard one person I know from Chicago utter a single word about this tragic number of lives lost. I noted and shared in your grief and despair over the 50 people violently murdered in Orlando last week, completely avoidable had only we simply loved a terrorist more. I also noted your desire to stop such violence by advocating that the right provided by God to all citizens of these United States to arm and protect themselves from all forms of violence should be removed by the men and women in our Congress. While such a change can be made by ‘man’ to our God given rights, it requires no less than amending the Constitution by a clear process, which involves ratification by 37 states as spelled out in that same document. It’s quite straight forward. All Congress needs to do is amend the Constitution and states ratify that amendment with no need to stage House ‘sit-ins’ or filibusters, which Ted Cruz proved solves absolutely nothing. To prove out the undeniable theory of the US Attorney General that “our most effective response to terror is compassion, it’s unity and it’s love” I hereby propose that all you folks in Chicago get out of your house and start loving your neighbors much, much more. And if you can prove this theory and reduce your city’s murder rate by 80% by 2017 with the simple and effective tools of love and compassion at your disposal, then I will personally join any effort, even write letters to my representatives, to advise them to add and ratify an amendment to the US Constitution that would effectively nullify, repeal, and remove the second amendment of the US Constitution and thereby relinquish my God given right to keep and bear arms. Go out and love your neighbors and stop the killing. Start tomorrow, there is no time to waste, if one life can be saved. Oh, and do it for the children. Until and unless you succeed in this clearly easily achievable goal, please keep your concerns about my arms as quiet as you manage to keep the Chicago murder rate. I thank you, and your fellow Americans will thank you I am certain.
That is all.

Since the dems made it racist to even discuss this, I no longer effing care.
The lack of jobs, kids learning the illegal drug enterprise rather than getting an education and illegal drugs are the driving force for the inner city violence. It is a cultural meltdown accelerated by the deterioration of the family that creates people without the moral fiber to support the rule of law. Instead they have degenerated to street justice, illegal drugs, prostitution, theft, armed robbery, murder, auto theft and the list goes on.
The DemonRAT’s inability to focus on the real problems are using a diversionary tactic to hide their total failure in cities they have controlled for generations. It may be that they are so consumed by graft and corruption that they have no desire to fix the beast that feeds them.
