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.

Home town of Obama !
way to go odama, that is you back yard
Here you go, LIBERALS!! leads the NATION in murders!! Guns nnot allowed!!! So how many murderers used firearms? ALL?????
When President Obama spoke in reaction to the heinous October 1 attack on Umpqua Community College, he went beyond his usual calls for more gun control and suggested instead that America consider following the path blazed by Australia and Great Britain.
In the mid-1990s Australia and Great Britain both instituted what were virtually complete bans on firearm possession.
Obama referenced the bans thus:
We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours, allies of ours — Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it.
And Obama is not the only one who suggested taking a gun-free approach to American life. The anti-Second Amendment message was also pushed by Slate, Vox, and Dan Savage.
For example, on October 1 Slate ran a story reminding readers that Australia enacted their gun ban in response to an attack on April 28, 1996, wherein a gunman “opened fire on tourists in a seaside resort in Port Arthur, Tasmania.” Thirty-five were killed and 23 others wounded in the attack. Twelve days later Australia’s government banned guns, period.

Taking our guns is exactly what Odumbass wants to do, We have a right under the law to own guns. To blame the NRA is the easy way out,Everyone always wants to use them as a scapegoat and its B.S. It has been proven over and over again that “gun free zones” dont work! It only invites crime. We as law abiding citizens should have weapons to defend ourselves and our Families.
Whaaaaa? Why don’t you read what you said again…. “Chicago is the worst example because they have the highest number of illegally owned guns, so obviously it is ridiculous to say that gun control is enforced here. It’s not. People you’re not helping your argument only further proving that gun laws need to be implemented.” highest number of illegally owned guns, sounds like there are laws but criminals still have them! Isn’t it illegal to have guns in a gun free zone? What would more laws do?
Actually it proves our point. When guns are outlawed. Only outlaws will have them and they certainly wouldn’t turn them in
The sad part Tj Mack is people really are that stupid that they think this would work! Dumb Sheep!!!
