Meanwhile In Chicago, 120 People Shot In First 10 Days Of 2016
Even as Obama takes his anti-gun crusade to new highs with every passing week, having recently started dispensing executive orders, the president conveniently continues to ignore the state of affairs in his native Chicago - a city in which guns are banned - yet where the shooting epidemic has never been worse, and is truly emblematic of the "gun problem" America has.
Judging by the most recent developments, Obama will have nothing to say about Chicago gun violence either during tonight's state of the union address, or ever for that matter, because recent developments are downright disastrous.
According to the Chicago Tribune, following the seven people shot to death and 30 more wounded during the latest weekend, the total number of shootings in the windy city has risen to 120 in just over a week into the new year, according to police.
The fatal shootings included two teens killed by a store clerk during a robbery in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, and one of three people shot at a party four blocks from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home.
As the Tribune tabulates as of Monday morning, at least 19 people have been killed in gun violence and at least 101 more have been wounded. This is three times higher than compared to the same period one year ago: in the first 10 days of 2015, "only" nine people were killed and another 31 wounded.
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi released a statement blaming most of the violence on "chronic gang conflicts."
"Every year Chicago Police recover more illegal guns than officers in any other city, and as more and more illegal guns continue to find their way into our neighborhoods."
So the problem is smuggling of illegal guns, got it. What is the proposed solution?
"So it is clear we need stronger state and federal gun laws," Guglielmi said in the statement.
Because those who illegally procure guns will follow gun purchasing laws, and the only thing preventing them from doing so is not enough laws? One can almost see why Chicago's gun problem is getting worse by the day.
The statement continues:
"So far this year, the majority of the gun violence we've seen are a result of chronic gang conflicts driven in part by social media commentary and petty disputes among rival factions. Despite an overall lack of cooperation from gang members, detectives are working aggressively and making optimistic progress in several cases."
At least 2,986 people were shot in Chicago in 2015. Many more will be shot - by illegally obtained weapons in a city with unprecedented gun control - in 2016.

once you have so many millions of guns circulating in a country, it probably makes no sense anymore to implement a new law restricting the selling and buying of guns. it is just too late.
How about a mandatory death sentance for dealing drugs. That will cut gun violence by 90-95%.
or maybe decriminilization.....

Quite the list, had the races been reversed in just one of these cases, the ethno-oligarch owned and operated national corporate media would never drop it.

as someone more learned than I said, "we dont have a gun problem, we have a black problem".
Sunni Muslim Barrack Hussein Obama's gun control goals have absolutely nothing to do with preventing crime and everything to do with disarming the American People in furtherance of the totalitarian American Police State.
THe bright side is those 120 deaths will mean tens of millions of $$ saved on inceration costs over the long term.
Can you take a guess as to what demographic lives in the areas shaded in blue?
The US is 3rd in the world when it comes to murders. But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom. Those 4 cities also happen to have the strictest gun control laws throughout the country.
And something else in common. Its that demograhic, again.
What is your source for gun control laws in New Orleans? A quick google search shows Louisiana with lax gun laws and does not mention an exception for New Orleans.
And now that I think about, what is your source for the other data?
I have a friend that was born and raised in Oak Park. Once a nice suburb, stocked with Frank Lloyd Wright houses. I went there with him in 2006. He showed me around his old hometown, I noted it should be called Black Oak Park.
He, not having been home in 20 years, was shocked at the level of dindu infiltration into his once nice and safe neighborhood. I see on that graphic that Black Oak Park is becoming a hotbed of dinduism.
good thing the shop keeper had a GUN,....so he could kill the black thugs. Obama would be happier if the shop keeper was DEAD
JUST LOVIN IT! in the world of OZ, from OZ came SHIRAQ! Just remember when there is no power and no communication who the enemy is. The product of a completely competent government? That we should trust? This shows what happens when greed takes over the law... You get SHIRAQ. Obama should be proud having been the local "community organizer" I can see what a exceptional job he has done? anyone still left alive? going according to plans Obama? I see the seeds you planted long ago sprouting. Great Job ASSHOLE!
I guess SHIRAQ is what they mean by complete structural overhaul?
My old Polish neighborhood does not get any shootings. Garfield Ridge around Archer and Harlem on the southwest side. Still good.

Liberal-Democrats and their shining examples of restrictive gun control. How impressive!
Pass guns out to the monkeys like a PEZ dispenser and let them solve the nigger crime problem themselves. Let them kill themselves off as they are already in the process of doing.
Quick, clean, cheap and efficient.
I am Jacks lack of sympathy.

When you pull the trigger aren't you supposed to know where the fuck your firearm is pointed?
http://worldtruth.tv/12-year-old-girl-shot-and-killed-by-pennsylvania-po...
Aren't you supposed to have a legitimate reason to pull the trigger? The Sheriff could have just left. Not like the guy was going anywhere. At least wait for the kids to be out.
Why the shit are the 2 teens shot by the store clerk being called victims? The store clerk was the victim, and he decided to defend himself and shot the perpetrators. I don't see a problem there. Calling the 2 would-be robbers victims is offensive.
Between abortion and black on black violence, soon there won't be any problems.
We need to double funding for Planned Parenthood, aka the Black Genocide Project, immediately, and add a Constitutional Amendment that their funding must continue to be increased until black crime goes to zero.
On a long enough timline, black lives won't be our problem any more.
Obama killing his own people and they're too fucking stupid to realize it. Wow
That average IQ of 85 raising its ugly head once again.
