Out of the friends I know that have or have had guns=2 suicides by guns and one accidental shooting. Out of the friends I know that don't own guns= zero deaths unless you count natural causes.

Yup... Except for gun free liberal cities like Chicago where crime is at record highs because law abiding citizens have been disarmed and are unable to protect themselves.

This is not the slightest bit true.

Chicago's crime rate has been dropping since the 90s, just like everywhere else in this country.

Let's ask the families of shooting victims in Chicago and find out how they see things in regards to a "dropping crime rate" there.
