Let’s see …. All the shootings by police are because of racist cops; and all the shootings between thugs are because of guns

The perfect time to commit a crime in Chicago would be during the Democrat National Convention because all law enforcement will be there. Every place else would be neglected.

The big lifesaver in Chicago is that Ghetto Grip. It looks cool, though.

Hey " ABC7 Chicago Digital Team" -- 'gun violence' isn't the problem - the problem's criminal violence.

If city governments waste their time fighting a piece of metal rather than the thugs, goons and criminals behind the piece of metal they create hellholes like Chicago with murder rates and theft rates like Chicago's.

And with fools in the press like Chicago's with their 50 year old 'solutions' that didn't work then and won't work now.

Again, it's NOT the piece of metal it's the criminals, goons and thugs behind the piece of metal.

Guns don't make hellholes, idiots in government and the press make hellholes. Which is why so many of us live in Florida with our much lower crime rates and our strong protection for second amendment rights.

One out of thirty three (1/33) isn’t a large ratio.
A little range time may help them improve.

Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, just another weekend in the combat zone, the free fire zone. Was it friendly fire I wonder?

Omar: That wasn't no attempted murder.

Levy: Then what was it, Mr. Little?

Omar: I shot the boy Mike-Mike in his hind parts, that all. [jury members laugh] Fixed it up so he couldn't sit right. [Judge Phelan chuckles]

Levy: Why'd you shoot Mike-Mike in his, um... hind parts, Mr. Little?

Omar: Let's say we had a disagreement.

Levy: A disagreement over?

Omar: Well, you see, Mike-Mike thought he should keep that cocaine he was slingin' and the money he was makin' from slingin' it. I thought otherwise.

Chicago seems like a great place to train combat / military medical teams. Plenty of gunshot wounds to practice on. I wonder if the military is already doing this.

I do believe you've nailed it!

But libertylover says, we don't have a gun problem; we have a behavior problem.

Toddling is stumbling around somewhat uncontrollably. I guess chicago IS “a toddling town” as bodies stumbling around before collapsing and dying. It also is the “windy” city...as the wind whistles thorough the bullet holes.

Needs to be a law for democrat controlled cities to post a warning sign at the city limits.

33 shot and only 1 killed? Indeed, Chicago is just going to hell right before our eyes.

“ Chicago seems like a great place to train combat / military medical teams.”

They already do. A buddy of mine was a Navy anesthesiologist, and he did his trauma training in LA. He told me it was common for military doctors and nurses to do their trauma training in big (Dim-run) cities.
