The sad part is that the media didn't give this 1/10th of the media coverage sandy hook or aurora got.

Once something is routine, its no longer "news", unless the media decides it sells. There's no hook.

The district, one of 77 in the city of 2.7 million, had 26 murders in 2012, up from 19 the year before, and 116 shootings, up from 98.

Only 2.7 million people walking around there.

I understand that but it does have something to do with those pesky bad firearms seems like it would be a big deal unless this is making someone somewhere look bad.

 

[gdunn]

the real question is how much worse it would be without all that gun control. Duh...

You also forgot to use punctuation.

The news - Sun Times or whatever - would use the opportunity to spin the reason for the violent crime in chicago - loose gun laws in Indiana. Wouldn't have anything to do with criminals walking in Chicago left and right. Prosecution the worst in the nation.

No but the ease of getting guns in Indiana through private sales surely doesn't help since only criminals would be doing it(according to Illinois). Let's not pretend it does.

I agree with the lack of prosecution though. What a joke.

If they spent even 1/10 of the effort/time/money prosecuting gun crimes as they do those arrested for victimless drug crimes, then they would be off to a good start in curbing the murder problem.

You know I have heard so many times about your loose gun laws in Indiana seems like we ned to get Bloomburg to talk to your Govnenor and tighten them bad boys up a little, I think this would help the shootings deminish quickly in Chicago. Oh and BTW I am just ****ing you guys I really enjoy your forum.

Not innocents of course, but given that most of these kinds of shootings are gang-banger on gang-banger ... fire away ..

That's because it was not one shooting. 20 people were shot - at different locations, times and by different shooters.
It's just like wrecks. 20 individual car accidents around the city is no big deal, a single 20 car pile up makes the news.

Wouldn't happen with carry permits

Not sure about that one. Many of these shootings are in some real crap neighborhoods. Kinda hard to stop a drive by with a LTCH.

I do, however, think that the LTCH would help prevent or at least help protect when these warm weather flashmobs start appearing in downtown.

Have you been keeping up with all the shootings in Fort Wayne this year?

The news - Sun Times or whatever - would use the opportunity to spin the reason for the violent crime in chicago - loose gun laws in Indiana...

Chicago gun grab dipsticks ALREADY try and do this. The whackjobs ALSO tried to lay ALL the blame for 'illegal guns used in crimes' on ONE SMALL shop in Riverdale, IL. (south Chicago suburb). Absolutely false. Been in that shop many, many times (that LGS has been there... I dunno, maybe 40+ years?) and the owners are simply good and decent folks.

And the 2.7 million is under-estimated, as on any given week day, thousands and thousands more head to Chicago are for their jobs, deliveries, etc.

Chicago is composed of a LOT of good, friendly, law-abiding citizens overshadowed by a (relatively) small band of gangbangers and thugs and frozen in Democratic party lock-step by scumbag infested "Teapot Dome" and "Tammany Hall" politics.

Daly was a scumbag, so was his p.o.s. old man. Emanuel follows right in line. Oh, and we all KNOW where our current, radical POTUS learned part of HIS political garbage, right?
