Chicago gun deaths

[Rustic]

From January 1, 2016 to June 14, 2016, there were 1,689 gun deaths in Chicago. This averages out to be about 10 gun deaths per day.

Why does no one seem to care? Chicago is nothing more than a war zone with a ban on guns.

Gun control just does not work… Fact

This will not fit the far left narrative for "gun control", so that is why they ignore it.

But does prove they do not care that their protected group is killing each other off..

They ignore it because:

1. These are poor black kids killing each other. No one really cares about them.
2. This is a liberal utopia at the heart of liberalism.
3. Obama is from Chicago.

New York has stricter gun laws than Chicago and they have many less shootings and homicides. The vast majority of shootings in Chicago are drug/gang related.

325 Chicago Shooting Victims in September `16 increase to 2,961 this year...

325 Chicago Shooting Victims in September; 2,961 This Year
October 9, 2017 | The Oct. 1 shooting massacre in Las Vegas that killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 was horrific, and terribly indicative of how much misery and evil one person can perpetrate. Similarly horrible and heartbreaking are the nearly relentless shootings -- despite tough gun laws -- in the city of Chicago.

In 2016, there were 4,368 shooting victims in the Windy City. This year, as of Monday, 2,961 people had been shot. In just the first nine days of October, 95 people were shot. Since May, the number of shooting victims in Chicago has decreased each month relative to last year, according to the Chicago Tribune's shooting victims database and website. However, the victim numbers are high. (The Tribune data are for "number of victims, not shooting incidents," and this includes non-fatal and fatal shootings; the number of shooting homicides is lower than the number of shooting victims.) As the database shows, in January 2017 there were 312 shooting victims in Chicago; in January 2016, there were 297. The chart below shows the number of victims by month for both years.

In total, the Chicago Tribune reports there were 4,368 shooting victims in 2016 (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2016) in the city. In 2015, there were 2,974 victims; in 2014, 2,578 victims; in 2013, 2,184 victims; and in 2012, 2,516 shooting victims. For 2016, the number of victims averages to 84 per week. According to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a pro-gun control organization, Illinois is ranked 8th in the nation for its gun laws and earned a B+ grade for its overall efforts to control firearms. According to the National Rifle Association and the Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), "Illinois has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation," including a 72-hour waiting period for a handgun and 24 hours for a rifle or shotgun.

In addition, residents must show a state-issued Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card "or concealed carry permit for all purchases of firearms or ammunition, whether from a licensed dealer or private seller," stated NRA-ILA. "Automatic firearms, short-barreled shotguns, and suppressors are prohibited entirely," reports the NRA-ILA. "Even muzzleloaders and black powder guns are considered firearms and subject to the background check requirement."

The left means gun control for white people. The rest they don't really care about it's just to disarm whitey no matter the cost in lives.

[NYcarbineer]

If you believe the gun 'rights' extremists, the reason there are so many gun deaths in Chicago is that there aren't enough guns there.

NYC is still working under the techniques of Rudy Guilliani, and they just made a major gang sweep. Baltimore....600,000 people compared to NYC, and they have the same gun murder numbers......with the same gun laws. Seattle.....have you looked lately....gun crime is going up there....

No...there are guns in the hands of criminals....not enough police, and normal people have a really hard time getting their concealed carry permits...since the city doesn't allow gun ranges or stores.......

The city is down 2,000 police....they are now trying to get more police hired since rahm can't join a hilary administration.......but the police have also been hamstrung by the Ferguson effect.

Those are the reasons...and.....the gangs are controlling a lot of the democrat politicians....
