From The Chicago Tribune: Nineteen people were shot across the South and West sides from Thursday evening through early Friday morning -- 13 of them wounded over a 30-minute period, authorities say.
Tell me again how stringent gun control prevents violence, please... (/end sarcasm)
It only prevents "gun" violence. :blink:Quote:

Give it some time! At some point they will shoot more then they are breeding!
I guess the gun free zones don't work so well.
I think politicians that allow people to die by removing their right to self defense through legislating "gun-free" zones should be prosecuted for criminal negligence and be considered accomplices to murder.
Guess who said this. "Chicago is an example of what makes this country great."
If you guessed Obama....give yourself a cookie.

I guess if he really believes that corruption and dead bodies stacking up in the street made this Country great (and he may) he would be right. I don't think so.
Funny how "gun free zones" like Chicago and New York City are the pits of gun violence that they are. Gun free for law abiding citizens...but not criminals. Does that seem backwards to anyone else?
Corruption and violence was there way before Obama came into office.
I am from Chicago and I think Chicago, for the most part, Is what makes this country great. Ethnically diverse, great food, lakefront, art, museums, schools E.T.C. It's the gun laws and politics that most here don't agree with. PRESIDENT Obama is right about that. My family left Chicago for the suburbs in 1986 because of the gun laws. I'm sad to see whats happening in the poor drug neighborhoods.Quote:

I moved out of Illinois when I was 20 and never looked back!
Giordano's for me.
I also love the ribs at the Twin Anchors pub, but there is "positively no dancing" there.
As far as the shootings, beating the back to school rush?
It not just Chicago even the neighboring LEO suburbs are looking to prepare themselfs.
"When police in Plainfield this week asked school officials for permission to store high-powered rifles at four local high schools, Betsey Vinson took it as a sign of the times."
