Gun control capitol sees continued surge in murder
Chicago continues to break records for violence this year, reaching another milestone at the end of last month by recording its 701st homicide. There were fewer than 500 in 2015.
With a month left to go in 2016, Chicago is on track to exceed the 704 killings it saw in 1998 and possibly even the 761 of 1997, as ongoing investigations are not counted among the current total. (Police department statistics also do not include the roughly 20 killings on area expressways, police-involved shootings or justifiable homicides, the Chicago Tribune points out).
The city of 2.7 million has surpassed even the combined total homicides of New York and Los Angeles — much larger cities — which stood at 565 before the end of November.

Wonderful news! Perfect proof that restrictive gun laws work. WE all know that passing lots of laws on guns stops crime, here is actual proof!
ReplyDeleteAlso, we know that everyone will comply with these laws, cuz no one wants to go to jail.
This is a city that every Liberal Gun Hater can use to show that restrictive gun laws make everyone safer!
