CHICAGO — An outburst of gunfire rattled the city during the weekend, with at least nine people killed in 36 separate acts of violence.
The shootings were reported from Friday until Monday morning, police spokeswoman Monique Bond said Monday. They included gang shootings, drive-by attacks, and even one case in which someone used an AK-47 to shoot up a plumbing supply store.

So the obvious action to take is to ban guns, right?

Yup...because once you ban guns, the bad guys will go... “Oh man!!! Now what are we going to do?” and of course give up their life of crime.
Obviously! If they would just declare Chicago a gun-free zone, all the problems would go away! It’s worked for DC!
The Democrats are to offer a plan that would allow for the city to withdraw all police officers within 90 days and allow the “INSURGENTS” to have control of the city. /*scarasm off
Now, if the guns all had firing pins that microstamped the cartridges, all of this would have been avoided.
The plumbing supply store probably had it coming .
Federal grants for basketball court construction urgently needed in Chicago.
Let’s be clear.
This is not hell-breaking loose all over the entire Chicagoland area, particularly NOT the nuclear-family rich, go-to-work and obey the law dominated suburbs.
It is a particular area of the city of Chicago, infested with a particular....ahem...culture.
“An outburst of gunfire rattled the city during the weekend...”
Impossible. There are no guns in Chicago.And they’re aren’t any in DC either....nothing to see here....move along,sheeple.

After all, Chicago has strict gun control laws.
No way something like this could happen.
In 1992, led by Mayor Richard M. Daley, the Chicago City Council voted to ban assault weapons.
A dem “controlled” city in dem “controlled” state with two dem senators, one of whom is a traitor and the other is a presidential candidate, and another presidential candidate who used to be from there..............
Sounds like Chicago’s chickens.....are comin’ home......to roost! Not God Bless Chicago but God #$%& Chicago!
Yep. lots of progress from the progressives on the South Side.
The thing about it is, it’s not only Chicago but Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Los Angles, Dallas, Boston, and.......DETROIT!!!!!!
All the while the idiot lib’s scream get our “children” out of Iraq.....
There’s an intense competition between New Orleans, Philadelphia,and Chicago to be the murder capital of the
U.S.
I don't. I think that the store owner staged his own attack to justify his illegal War on Something. And we all know that the Joooooooooooooooooooooos knew the attack was coming and left the building.
We have a partial handgun ban in Canada. You can’t own without having a permit, and registering the gun, and you can only transfer it to and from your gun club. This Chicago shooting spree is on par with some we have in Toronto. The leftists strike again.
Do you think we’re headed for riots this summer? If Hillary grabs the nomination, I believe there will be several.
Chicago has a total handgun ban. Goes to show how well it works.
I think the only way there WON’T be some rioting will be an Obama victory in the general election....
If Hillary is the dem candidate, there will be trouble alluding to “racism”....
If Obama is the dem candidate and McCain wins, there’ll
be troubles alluding to “racism”....
