That's what I figured. I don't think Chicago's drop can be immediately contributed to gun control.

And gun laws have only gotten more relaxed as a whole in that time, too.

He'll, Chicago just started allowing concealed carry again in the last year or so. Wonder if that has to do with the lows

I wasn't saying that it could be. I was saying the opposite...that gun control doesn't necessarily cause spikes in gun deaths. We can very obviously see in this instance that it does not.

I agree. As of 7/7 police have seized over 3,300 illegal firearms so far this year so the "laws" aren't keeping guns out of the outlaws' hands.


Also, the way the classify homicides has been challenged by some who feel they misclassify to lower the rate.

The homicide numbers are especially important, says one cop: “You should see these supervisors, like cats in a room filled with rocking chairs, afraid to classify a murder because of all the screaming they will hear downtown.”
