Chalk up another “child” killed by gunfire by the Brady gun control posse. It would be good to have a count that subtracts gang violence from the number of children killed. I suspect the number would be less than drowning deaths of children.

Come on, the gangs waited till after the weekend.

Romney should visit some of these parks and point to the need for more control of crime and more jobs. Shove it in The Disaster’s face.

I would say a conservative estimate of gang perpetrated murders would be 90%. The others either family-related (the real hate crimes) or somewhat accidental.

Of course, those committed by CC holders - infinitesimal.

OMG!!! The neighborhood was a veritable garden of peace because it, “hasn’t seen a slaying since last summer.” My gun drenched neighborhood in semi-rural east TN hasn’t seen slaying in the whole 25 years I’ve been here.

Having fun yet Rahmbo?

As if you care. There’s no money in gangs and poor people getting shot up.

All they really need are a few more federal programs.

Hey what’s up gun controllers?? Chi town along with NYC is a big gun control town. they make it practically impossible for a law-abiding citizen to obtain a firearm. Yet all the piece of $&#t thugs can carry guns and kill.

This neighborhood hasn’t seen a slaying since last summer.

And this is son unusual that they are bragging about it.

My neighborhood hasn’t seen a slaying since the last Algonquin uprising in the late 17th century.

So let’s have extreme gun control laws, eg., no law abiding citizen can have one. That will prevent these shootings. (extreme sarcasm!!!)

Chicago!! Just as I thought. Hometown to Bammy Boy and America’s largest black dystopia. This was paradise for a community organizer which really means, the man who procures taxpayer money for idiotic projects in “the community”
