I don't see your point

That Chicago has murders? Don't all cities?

Chicago is not even in the top 10 for murders

Chicago's Homicide Rate Does Not Rank Near the Top Among American Cities


Despite the familiar media refrain that Chicago is the nation’s murder capital, the “windy city” does not even qualify as one of the nation’s top 25 most dangerous cities for homicide. Yes, in sheer numbers Chicago leads the nation’s cities in murders, but its per capita murder rate is lower than forty other cities with populations above 40,000 residents. In 2011, the last year where records have been tabulated to compare cities, according to FBI statistics, Chicago, with a per capita murder rate of 15.9/per 100,000 residents, ranked behind over three dozen other American cities.

In 2011, the city’s murder rate was less than half that of the cities of New Orleans (57.6/per 100,00), Detroit (48.2) and St. Louis (35.3). Chicago’s homicide rate was also lower than such unremarkable cities as Ft. Myers, FL (31.7) Pine Bluff, AR (24.3), Dayton, OH (23.3) Rocky Mount, NC (20.6), Gulfport, MS (17.6) and Harrisburg, PA (16.1).

Isn't it racist to post the stats of all those predominantly black cities?

Gun control opponents have often seized on Chicago as their example to “prove” that gun control is a total failure, by repeating the false claim that it has the nation’s highest murder rate. While Chicago is indeed a relatively violent city, the fact that it ranks behind a number of other cities with more relaxed gun laws, at least calls into question the logic of that argument. In addition, it should be noted that Chicago’s record year for homicides was 1974 when they had 970 murders, well above the total of 506 recorded last year

Chicago’s strict hand gun ban was passed in 1982, so given that the number of homicides has dropped in half from 1974 to 2012, it is hard to take seriously the argument that the gun ban has made matters worse for the residents of Chicago

Do we need to go into European gun control laws?

 

[novasteve]

If we didn't have all of this libbie violence we would have the same murder rates as thosexeuropean countries despite all of their gun control, queermo

Chicago has extremely strict gun control.
Yet GUN crime is higher in Chicago than in cities with less restrictive gun laws.
Gun control increases gun crime rates.

New Orleans has the highest murder rates in the country and the most lax gun laws

Louisiana also has the highest murder rate in the country

Which blows your theory to hell

 

[novasteve]

Something tells me the murder rates are highest in the most liberal parts of Louisiana you ass pirate

The Truth About Chicago's Falling Murder Rate | Blog | Media Matters for America

Nonetheless, the Chicago news triggered the usual response from conservative gun advocates, who love to mock the city's homicide rate. In recent years Chicago gun victims have served as a macabre punch line for NRA fans as they scoff at the alleged futility of the city's gun safety laws. (Chicago banned handguns decades ago, and has retained strong gun laws following the 2010 overturning of that ban by the Supreme Court.)

Conservative conspiracists such as Rush Limbaugh even claim Democratic politicians, including Chicago's mayor Rahm Emanuel, want the city's murder rate to remain high so they can use the killings to advocate for stronger gun laws.

But note what these commentators are careful not to mention while using the killings to make a political point: They didn't mention that homicides in "Gun Control Chicago" are down dramatically this year; a trend that undermines the attack that the Second City stands as the ultimate symbol of gun enforcement failure.

In early May, the Chicago Police Department released figures indicating the city marked a 43 percent decline in the number of murders over the first four months of this year, as compared to the same period last year. For the first quarter of this year, Chicago registered 93 murders, its lowest January-to-April tally since 1963.

Then this month came news that Chicago experienced a 31 percent decrease in shootings for the month of May, which meant that through May of this year the city's murder count had declined 34 percent from last year. Chicago homicides still outnumber those in larger cities, such as New York and Los Angeles; it suffers from weaker gun laws in both its home state and surrounding states than those two cities, allowing criminals easier access to guns purchased elsewhere.

Do we need to go into European gun control laws?

Lets look at the UK.
Extreme gun control since 1997/8.
No change in gun murder rate.
No change in frequency of mass shootings.
Huge increases in gun crimes against police officers.
Huge increases in armed robberies using guns( it's only recorded as a gun crime in the UK if the firearm is discharged.

US gun crime, any crime committed by a criminal with a gun.
Any crime where the victim has a gun.
Any crime where a cop uses his gun.

When the criteria is so vastly different, the comparison cannot be made.
