38 Shot, 8 Fatally, in Gun-Controlled Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend
Breitbart ^ | 29 May 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 05/29/2018 3:33:18 PM PDT by detective

Thirty-eight people were shot, at least eight fatally, in gun-controlled Chicago over Memorial Day Weekend.

The murders are in line with what the city has witnessed over the past few years. ABC7 reports there were seven murders over the Memorial Day Weekend in 2017 and eight during the same weekend in 2016.

Chicago’s overall murder rate is slightly lower than it was last year at this point. USA Today reports there have been 191 murders year-to-date, whereas there were 237 murders at this same time last year. However, the murder rate is still high enough that it puts Chicago “on pace once again to record more homicides than any other American city. ”

City of Chicago and State of Illinois politicians are pushing for more gun control as the solution to the violence in Chicago. The Illinois House passed a bill designed to require 18-20-year olds to hand over legally purchased and possessed “assault weapons.” More recently, on April 3, 2018, the Chicago suburb of Deerfield empowered their chief of police to confiscate residents’ “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines and destroy them.

It's OK.

It wasn't a school so it doesn't fit the narrative.

Brought to you by the capital letter "L" and the number "7" which look remarkably similar to the shape of a pistol.

Chicago is a sick town. I won’t travel there at all.

Well, you have to realize that it’s just because there are still isolated pockets of freedom despite the best efforts of the tyrants, er, freedom grabbers, er, gun grabbers. If only there were dictasterhip and tyranny from sea to sea, no one would ever die! Oh, wait...

Guess they need to improve their aim... 8 out of 38 is pathetic.

Best steak dinner I ever had was in Chicago. Nothing since then has quite lived up to it.

There is nothing they can do until they address the perps as a group. And that ain’t going to happen. It’s racist.

The eating opportunities there are wonderful, and I also had the best steak I’ve ever tasted there. Blues, brews, and stuffing face, can’t wait, a week from this Thursday.

How many carry permits in Chicago?

Have they reached 5% of adults, yet?

Why?
Don't they have a municipal dump?

Don't keep it a secret... recommend some restaurants.

I was in Chicago once, in 1994 and it was a great albeit short visit when a European relative came to visit the US and insisted in seeing Chicago; we stayed at a great Art Deco hotel near the iconic bridge over some river, near a Newspaper tall office building.
