You Spew Nothing But Lies!Trump & Fox News talk about Chicago every day!More Fake Trump / Fox News! - Chicago doesn't even rank in the top 15 large cities gun murder rate.Sounds like a Saturday in Chicago.
I like how they talk about Chicago, and New Orleans.....both have been controlled by democrats for generations.....
Here in St Louis we have for 15 years allowed anyone except mental ill & non-violent criminal to CCW anywhere. We have 7.5 times more people shot than Chicago. We have more police per capita of any city in the USA except D.C. & we have 3rd highest crime rate.
Yeah...again...democrat policies.....
So you are saying that law abiding gun owners carrying guns for self defense is driving your gun murder rate? That is what you are spewing....?
How about the truth....a lack of police, politically correct crap attacking the cops...that is what drives the crime rate there...
Rise in Murders Has St. Louis Debating Why
Jennifer M. Joyce, the city’s circuit attorney, or prosecutor, an elected position, complains that in St. Louis, the illegal possession of a gun is too often “a crime without a consequence,” making it difficult to stop confrontation from turning lethal.
At the same time, deeper social roots of violence such as addiction and unemployment continue unchecked. And city officials also cite what they call a “Ferguson effect,” an increase in crime last year as police officers were diverted to control protests after a white officer shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager in the nearby suburb on Aug. 9.

Now, an overstretched department is forced to pick one neighborhood at a time to flood with officers. Last month, Chief Dotson even asked the state highway patrol if it could lend a dozen men to help watch downtown streets; the agency declined.
------
City officials are calling for the hiring of 160 more officers, with a special effort to bring more minority officers onto a 1,255-member force that is 35 percent black. In 2012, with crime in apparent decline, the city let the police force shrink by 80 officers.
-------
When the police discover a gun in a car with several passengers, including some with felony records, but no one admits to owning the gun, criminal charges are often impossible, Mr. Rosenfeld said.
In addition, according to a 2014 study by Mr. Rosenfeld and his colleagues, a majority of those who are convicted of illegally possessing a gun but not caught using it in a crime receive probation rather than jail time. Gun laws and enforcement are stiffer in many other cities.
Fact: St. Louis has the MOST Police per resident.
Fact: Crime was up for 12 years before Ferguson that was only 2 years ago.
Fact: Un-prosecuted gun crime was a problem that was fixed 2 years ago with new Gun Court.
Fact: St. Louis unemployment rate is near lowest in the country.
