Actually, that’s a pretty good weekend for her. I’ve heard that there is a two month backlog of moving vans available for moving household goods out of the city. I wonder why?

Don’t they have shooting ranges in that town?

This sounds like we are talking about someplace in Yemen, or Chechnya.

I blame the NRA for those pathetic numbers. If they were actively involved in Chicago in offering shooting classes, there wouldn't be so many non lethal shootings.........

The BEM (Bug Eyed Monster) keeps saying the shootings are unacceptable. My question is: If the shootings are unacceptable why do they keep happening?

The solution to this is simply to accept the shootings. Then the problem of all these unacceptable shootings disappears.

Were it not for advances in modern emergency medicine, a vastly larger number would have expired.

“Inner city Blacks are the worst shooters ever.”

You’re wrong!! It’s the EEEvil, racist gun makers who put the sights vertically on top of their guns instead of horizontally the sides of the guns. Once again a case of SYSTEMIC RACISM has been detected.

Making the Chicago of the Capone era look safe and peaceful in comparison. Ignorant mayor can blame guns coming in from outside all she wants, it’s the people inside Chicago doing the shooting.

About twenty years ago someone made a fake advertisement for sights that stick to the side of your handgun. Holding the handgun sideways not put the sights on “top”. Some politicians thought it was real and went berserk over it.

“Were it not for advances in modern emergency medicine, a vastly larger number would have expired.”

How many of them are sorry that they survived?

BTW, this sort of thing raises the costs of all of of our insurance.

Just kidding, it doesn’t. I’m sure that you can guess how many of these victims had MetLife, Aetna, etc.

Cook County’s yearly bill for uninsured shooting victims hospitalization goes into high eight figures. That is for real. Guess who pays that in taxes.

Oh yeah, we pay for it and once we save them, they go on to more crime.
