Guns are like those evil SUV’s, sometimes they just lose control and kill people.

The reporting by this newspaper is false, as only the Police can own guns and we all know they would not shoot innocent citizens.

If you live in Chicago, and have the slightest inkling of common sense, be prepared to defend yourself against the Democrat culture that prowls the streets. Arm yourself, and start looking for a way out of there. The same goes for anyplace where Democrats have turned decent culture into zoos of angry apes.

A pack of lies from start to finish. There are no gun in Chicago so there are no murders in Chicago. Unless you get on the wrong side of the Dem’s then your ass is in the wind.

Don’t even need to go further than just the headline to know what city this is. Yes it’s sad. The “solution” as always is more Democrat ideas and tons more money thrown down a hole so they can feel that they’re doing something.

The only reason these stats get any attention at all is that the left wing MSM has a firearm agenda. Without that aspect, black on black violence completely lacks media appeal, having no leftist ideal to promote. Like the massacre in Rwanda, the racist liberal media couldn’t care less.

Those Chicago Guns are much more angry and prone to murder then in other cities.....I think it's the way they were raised....probably born fully loaded...

Quelle Horreur!

We MUST pass gun control now and stop law abiding citizens from owning guns.
It is for the children.

Good thing they’ve got all those laws to keep guns out of the hands of criminals (and everyone else). Criminals never break laws...

The pent up rage of sociopathic children from failed homes and a corrupt culture combined with the tribalism of gang warfare meets warmer weather = predictable behavior.

Those who created this horrific experiment will be along shortly to tell the rest of us we don’t pay enough to prevent it. Also predictable.

Sad, isn’t it?

You know those evil guns. Give them to people, and they can’t control themselves. Just like in Wisconsin where millions of people have guns, and the carnage is awful. Actually it’s not awful. Millions of people outside Milwaukee and Madison don’t go around shooting and killing despite being armed to the teeth. What could possibly be the answer? (snicker)

With all the killings in Chicago you would think they were all bankers.....

In the beginning it was banker suicides. Then about two weeks ago, suicides were replaced by outright murders after the execution-style killing of the CEO of a bank in otherwise sleepy (and tax evasive) Lichtenstein by a disgruntled client.

The weather has been tough this winter, and that has probably kept the violence down in vulnerable northeast and midwestern cities. I worry about what could happen in some of these cities, particularly with a government that is too busy screwing up the rest of the globe to acknowledge something has to be done about instability in the US.

Instead, the feds are making matters worse with situations like the assault on the Bundy's and the still wide-open border, allowing in invaders and those fighting jihad wars and revolutions all over the globe.

I think it's beyond rhetoric. Chicago had more deaths than Ukraine this weekend. And the feds want to disarm honest law-abiding people? Insanity reigns.
