My Kind of Town, Chicago Is...

Someone in Chicago has been shot every 2.84 hours this year for a total of 2,349 shootings during the period of January 1, 2015 to October 6, 2015, according to crime stats published by the Chicago Tribune. [More]
Those are some stats. They kind of speak volumes about "gun control," don't they?

Not so fast.  "Authorized Journalists" to the rescue!

Bloomberg PoliticsThe Washington Post. U.S. News. ABC News.

In short, without the edicts it would be worse, Chicago has eased up on those edicts, they don't have as many "mass shootings," it's tough to get complete data, and my personal favorite, because it implies we all need to adopt "the Chicago way," the criminals get their guns from places with more lax laws.

In a nutshell, if only they would disarm you and me.

Forget it Jake, it's Chi-Town.

And Chicago has not 1 gun store. Nor even a gun range thats open to the civilian population.

You'd think he'd take the hint and move out of town.

I'll be here all week, folks. Try the swordfish.
