Chicago police say gun violence is on the rise this year

Have the questioned any of the Guns in their armory to see if they are the "Guns" doing the "Gun Violence"?

[SaxxonWoods]

Too many police?

[rktman]

In chicago? WTH? They have gun laws and stuff. This must be a myth. You know, sort of like pantyfa/$bm supposedly is according to pedo joe.

[Dick Bachert]

DUUUUHHHH...?

[SkyDancer]

I guess all those other times were peaceful interludes.

[SkyDancer]

Let’s see: plane crashes, pilot’s fault; car accident, driver’s fault; shooting - gun’s fault. Got it.

[SkyDancer]

Obviously a racist post.

[Billthedrill]

39% increase in “gun violence”, 55% increase in homicide. Obviously more social workers are needed.

[MinorityRepublican]

Police shouldn’t go anywhere unless they go into force. Like 20 of them. And it’s just to collect evidence.

[lee martell]

Oh shoot!...Ahh let me rephrase that.

[cdcdawg]

Well, maybe they can assign social workers to these violent guns.

[frank ballenger]

That’s impossible !!

Calm down, please. They have new fresh ideas. "Gun Free Zones" with clear signs. Refusing to allow criminals and ex-cons to have guns. Restrictive background check delays and laws against certain types of weapons.

They will have Chicago crime free in no time.

[Leaning Right]

So Chicago gun violence is on the rise. It’s probably due to Global Warming. Send in Al Gore and Greta Thunberg to investigate

[coloradan]

Chicago’s gun violence is on the rise? Well then, it’s obvious that guns need to be taken away from people living thousands of miles away in red states - where the crime, murder, and especially the gun violence rates are far lower.

[frank ballenger]

Your chart——
At least they are not racisssss.
Must be no crime there at all.
