Chicago: ‘Deadliest July in 10 Years’ for Gun Control Haven

Facts are so inconvenient to libs. I wonder what percentage of victims and perps were black? This is what you get when brain dead liberals like Rahm and Obama are in control. Why doesn’t Obama walk the talk and settle on the Southside of Chicago when he saunters out of the WH? I’m sure all his Trayvon “sons” would welcome him with open arms. Meanwhile, CNN is focused on Trump eating KFC with a fork and knife.

July 2016 was the “deadliest July in 10 years” for heavily gun-controlled Chicago: Sixty-five individuals were shot and killed.

Moreover, according to the Chicago Tribune, such death figures do not set a new record — they simply tie a record set in 2006, when 65 individuals were killed in the month of July. This brings Chicago’s homicide total to “nearly 400” for the first seven months of 2016 alone. The number of homicides for the whole year of 2015 was 490.

Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson tried to abate the feeding frenzy on the July death numbers by pointing out that they are at least better than the numbers for June, “when 72 homicides were reported.”

Breitbart News previously reported that May 2016 was also a recording-setting month. Almost 400 people were shot and 66 people were killed in that one month. The Chicago Tribune reported May 2016 as the deadliest May since 1995, when 75 people were gunned down.

On August 2, the Chicago Tribune reported a total of 2,395 shooting victims in Chicago for the seven months of 2016. There were 2,988 shooting victims for all of 2015. These shootings come in spite of the city’s “assault weapons” ban, “violence tax,” strict rules on acquiring handguns, and micro-management of the number of gun stores in the city, as well as of the locations of those stores.

Very poor wound to kill ratio. We need a training program for firearms in the windy city. With correct ammo choice and a little practice we can easily get the deaths per month up to 300.

Pehaps a gofundme page is in order………..

Admin…..I will disagree with you that Obama and Rahm; IMO, they know gun violence is in the inner cities, mostly related to drugs, and performed mostly by people of color.

They want to take the guns away from the law-abiding people for a different reason than to stop gun violence.

Rahm and Obama do not give a damn how many people (of any color) get killed in any given year in Chicago. What they care about is whether they can continue to keep people on edge, wishing someone (like themselves) would make everything better.

What the Hell is going to happen when the lowbrow crowd (especially the lowbrow black crowd) figure out that the Democrats are fundamentally and constitutionally opposed to their very existence? Hyde Park might not be such a safe place on that day, methinks.
