Gun laws make us safer:
There have been 441 shootings and 100 homicides in the city of Chicago so far this year, according to a blog that tracks crime in Chicago.
That works out to 3.8 shootings per day or approximately one shooting every 6.3 hours.
The “Crime in Chicago” blog updates daily and tracks crime news within the city. It keeps a running tally of all homicides and shootings.
In 2012, the blog shows that 2,670 individuals were shot in Chicago. That was up 20% from 2,217 in 2011.
The do not need new gun laws, they just need to enforce the ones already on the books!! But then, it would be considered discrimination against minorities.
Doesn’t 3.8 shootings per day mean they’re on track for 1380 deaths in 2013, a 50% reduction from 2012? If so – any reason cited for such a precipitous drop?
