There must be some kind of mistake here.
Chicago has VERY STRICT gun control laws!
How come these gang-bangers and other criminals refuse to obey the laws? I just don't get it.
Why is it only honor students get shot in the hood??........

Here they are cheering Mitt Romney for saying he would have fewer police.
So why are shootings dropping in New York and not in Chicago? Commitment.
In New York, Bloomberg is actively pursuing illegal arms. And he is working with the entire state. In Chicago, Emanuel has targeted a 15% cut in police, something Republicans should be cheering, like they did for Mitt. Then you step outside Democratic Chicago to the Republicans part of the state and you can buy weapons in bushels. All the strict laws in the world are no good if there are no police to enforce them and 5 miles away, you can buy as many as you want, cheap.
Thank you for making an excellent point.Republicans are such hypocrites.

And yet knife stabbings are epidemic in the UK........If you want to argue that gun control doesn't work, start by explaining why the UK's murder rate is about 1/10th of that in the US.
Somehow ignorance isn't a compelling argument.
You might not realise this, but other states in the US do NOT have strict gun control laws, hence anything Illinois does is only ever going to be so much help.

The State of Illinois, and particularly Chicago really needs to step up and target gangs. There needs to be a targeted, concentrated, committed effort to really eradicate these bastards from off the street that are killing our children.
If the Governor of the State and/or the Mayor of Chicago aren't the people for the job, then get them out and put in people that are able to do the job.
Enough is enough.
No doubt your stats are adjusted for the difference in population??..........And yet knife stabbings are epidemic in the UK........If you want to argue that gun control doesn't work, start by explaining why the UK's murder rate is about 1/10th of that in the US.

Nonsense.
Check the OVERALL homicide rate.
USA 4.8
UK 1.2
So which country has an epidemic?
I agree 100%, however, it has to start somewhere, and that is usually with leadership. Someone has to step up and lead out in this issue and address and confront the problem face on regardless of political circumstance or outcomes.Thank you for making an excellent point.Republicans are such hypocrites.

The problem is cultural. There are areas of Chicago that are really poor. They just happen to be the same areas where the gangs are. Funny how that works out.
It's not just police and the mayor. Jobs and education are needed. And more of those dreaded "community organizers".
I hate the hypocracy of the GOP when they cry for police cuts and want more guns and then point and laugh at the brutal effects of their dangerous and disasterous policies.
Republicans are such hypocrites.

Right. It's the number of police officers. Delude yourself a little more why don't you.
Chicago has an officer to population rate of about 1 officer to 270 citizens and a murder rate of 15.9%
Nashville has an officer to population rate of about 1 officer to 470 citizens and a murder rate of 8.2 %.
How much good are your additional officers doing?
