As I mentioned in another thread about this the other day, trusting it was a safe Fourth weekend to enjoy trap, skeet, clays, rifle and handgun target, and other shooting sports in many other parts of America.

This is nothing more than system testing, to see if everything works, before the rat convention.

It’s more than that.
NYC is easily as democratic as Chicago and has a population of 8 millions yet they “only” had 22 shootings (3 or 4 times larger).

Chicago seems to have a certain population that is very violent and involved in the rap/drug/gang culture.

Wow! They made triple digits! Can you imagine what the butcher’s bill would have been without stringent gun control?

Answer: Probably a lot less. The thugs aren’t as brave when the victims can shoot back.

Guess the 103 and 19 was the grand finale for the 4th.

The irony here is that a lot of the “migrants” that come over the border claim asylum because they are allegedly fleeing violence in their home country.

Where can the people of Chicago flee?

Doesn’t matter. The solution is to go after white law abiding citizens by taking away THEIR guns..
