Where’s the gun control people in Chicago?

Oh yeah, there aren’t any. They live out in the exurbs.

We need Ghetto Control NOW!

Exclude DC, Chicago, LA, Philly, St.louis,Milwaukee & Baltimore and we’d probably have the gun murder rate of Switzerland.

Well if we INclude all those cities, it is possible to reduce that 45%er's down to about 30%er's.

That is unless they Breed the night before. Then it would just be like Weyerhaeuser, cut a tree plant 3 more. bad odds there.

That can’t be. Didn’t Jesse ask them to turn in their guns?

Good afternoon.

1 Dead, 13 Wounded In Christmas Eve, Christmas Shootings (Chicago)

Statistically, that's a very good day in Chitown. Maybe all of the criminals decided to attend Christmas Mass? Or maybe they all decided to obey gun laws. Or maybe they all decided to obey the Ten Commandments?

I crack me up...
