Chicago has set a record this past September, and not one to brag about. Since 2002, this record has not been matched until now. Fifty-nine murders and 362 gunshot victims occurred in the city with the strictest gun laws in the nation.
The Tribune reported that there were two consecutive weekends where more than 50 people were shot in September and August had more than 40 shootings every weekend.

Ok first the United states constitution!! Second extensive background checks? What about the second amendment? I don’t care who has a gun it’s their right to have it! You tell me to educate myself…… Maybe you should educate yourself on the original organic constitution!
Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard School of Public Health looked at gun laws and gun deaths in all 50 states from 2007 to 2010, concluding that: “A higher number of firearm laws in a state are associated with a lower rate of firearm fatalities in the state, overall and for suicides and homicides individually.” Their research was published in JAMA Internal Medicine in May 2013.

Phoenix is the 6th largest city in the U.S. We have open carry. Yet we don’t have the murder rate of Chicago. Plus we are a border state with Mexico.Another place were guns are banned yet it’s a war zone with over 50k dead from the drug wars.
