Chicago suffered yet another weekend of gun violence, with more than 22 shooting incidents injuring at least 31 people and leaving three dead, authorities said Monday. A fourth person was killed in the early hours of Monday morning, adding to the official police tally that stretches from 6 p.m. Friday until midnight Sunday. The weekend shootings follow an eruption of gun crime over the Fourth of July break, during which nine people were killed and at least 60 injured by firearms.


quote:

Gov. Quinn, a Democrat, repeated his call for new laws to curb the availability of assault weapons and large ammunition magazines, speaking in violence-plagued Morgan Park on the city's South Side. "There are too many victims of a war being waged on our streets, a war fueled in part by the availability of deadly, military-style assault weapons that have no purpose other than killing," Quinn said.

They're doing their best New Orleans impression, I guess.

I think Chicago's mayor Rahm Emanuel laid all the blame for the city's gun violence on the US House of Representatives.

I'll try to find a link.

Has nothing to do with the issue. Last I checked a magazine or a gun do not go around firing themselves.

Maybe they should make murder illegal. . Oh wait, but I bet if having a law making certaun types of guns illegal the criminal who stole or bought his gun off the black market will think twice since a murder charge isn't enough of a deterrant.

Found a link:
quote:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, blamed Congress, saying, “I slightly disagree with the reverend. I wouldn’t put this at the president’s door. I put this at the door of Washington D.C. This has been a long time that they have stopped investing in our children, and they need to invest in our kids.”
