Nearly 100 people have been shot in Chicago in less than a week, pushing the number of shooting victims so far this year to more than 2,500 - about 800 more than this time last year, according to data kept by the Tribune.

At least nine people were killed on Monday alone, the deadliest day in Chicago in 13 years, according to Tribune data. Among the wounded that day was a 10-year-old boy shot in the back as he played on his front porch in Lawndale.

ILLINOIS is reaping the fruit of the Godless culture it created through its demonic laws.

The left wants to leave guns in the hands of violent street thugs while taking them away from non-violent citizens.

Chicago, strict gun laws, 100 shootings last week. Vermont, constitutional carry, fewer than 100 murders in the last decade.

According to the libtard thought process and logic there shouldn’t be ANY gun violence or crimes because Chicago is a gun free zone. What went wrong?.../s

It's not the level of gun control. It's the character of the citizens that drive crime stats.

Illinois is near the top of the heap in that regard. It seems to have a highly disprortionate number of heathen a-holes per my own personal experience dealing with them. The only ones I've found to be okay are one's that moved from there because even they couldn't take it liivng there.

Not really "gun crime"

I think the “Occupy” crowd should put together a group of volunteers to travel to Chicago and forcibly take the guns away from those thugs.
