I was going to make a post about this when I got some time later. I don't really think it has much to do about gun ownership,
Houston had a ton of guns post Katrina and that didn't help. Houston is major hub for international trafficking so it's not like criminal eliminate isn't there. It really could just be that it's a fairly peaceful time between gangs in Houston while Chicago is in the opposite. My theory is cartels have learned shite where they eat.

there are reports the reason why Chicago has become Chiraq is due to turf wars due to the Mexican cartels

Objective conclusion: murderers and likely criminals in general will use guns to commit crimes regardless of laws against guns which leave victims defenseless.

I meant Houston
Houston has become too important for trafficking and I assume money laundering to be fighting over corners. Sort of taking the stringer bell/the Greek approach to the drug business. It's just a hypothesis, I plan to look this up more when I get time this afternoon.

Strict gun laws embolden criminals. Easy pickings with less threat of an armed victim.

Let's set this aside, for a moment. Turning instead to the overwhelming number of murders in Chiraq being black teenager against black teenager, in many cases both of them illegally armed. Or are bystander casualties of these firefights.
Even if we take out the "emboldening criminals" element (which I agree is a factor is some crime and rates of crime, generally) - this graph at least flies in the face of the left's argument that more guns = more crime. It strongly supports a conclusion, as many of have been saying for decades, that lawfully owned guns are a deterrent to crime, or at worse, do not contribute to a violent crime rate. There are places with few guns, and little crime. There are places with many guns and much crime (e.g. Baton Rouge and New Orleans), but there are also cites with few legal guns, and a high violent crime rate.
One has little to do with the other.

When that first spring weekend comes around, Chicago PD has to be uber-staffed because of the inevitable spike in homicides that happen when people finally come out to play.

Let's add some more information, from another city in a state that has, since 1998, become one of the strictest gun control states..
Meanwhile.. nationwide, there was a 39% drop in murders with firearms.
quote:
IN 1998, Massachusetts passed what was hailed as the toughest gun-control legislation in the country. Among other stringencies, it banned semiautomatic “assault” weapons, imposed strict new licensing rules, prohibited anyone convicted of a violent crime or drug trafficking from ever carrying or owning a gun, and enacted severe penalties for storing guns unlocked.
quote:
Since 1998, gun crime in Massachusetts has gotten worse, not better. In 2011, Massachusetts recorded 122 murders committed with firearms, the Globe reported this month — “a striking increase from the 65 in 1998.” Other crimes rose too. Between 1998 and 2011, robbery with firearms climbed 20.7 percent. Aggravated assaults jumped 26.7 percent.
Meanwhile.. nationwide, there was a 39% drop in murders with firearms.
quote:
The Department of Justice's latest report on gun violence by the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows a 39% drop in gun murders from 1993 to 2011. Non-fatal gun crimes are down 69%.

So if cold weather causes murder, why are we trying to stop global warming?
