It boggles the mind. Chicago is supposed to basically be a gun free zone. Democrats control every aspect of Chicago. That shite mayor keeps saying it's a gun issue. Then for frick's sake, go into those gang territories and get those guns. The law abiding citizens have already been fricked over by those laws, ensuring that only the violent criminals there have guns. Every step Democrats take towards gun control only targets the law abiding citizens. It does nothing to curb the insane shootings in south Chicago.

It's even worse when you remember that in places like Chicago, even when fricking gangbangers get arrested with guns, they are almost immediately released and put back on the street.

Guns don't make a decision to load themselves, place themselves in a persons hand and pull their triggers.

Gangs of people cause the violence. But you know that.

If you’re a BLM member and want to convince people that black lives matter to you, raise hell about what’s going on in any of our inner cities every day.

In 2025, Chicago had the fewest murders recorded since 1965, according to preliminary Chicago police data released Thursday.

Chicago saw 416 murders last year. In 1965, there were 395 murders.

Gun violence saw a steep drop from 2024.

There were 2,274 shooting incidents in 2024, compared to 1,471 in 2025.

There were 2,797 shooting victims in 2024 and 1,847 victims in 2025.

There were 587 murders in 2024.


Its been well documented that local law enforcement is not submitting data to the FBI.

What is hilarious is that Kash can use the same under reported data and announce how crime is down in the US.

These blue cities have to be livid that the FBI has taken their proverbial stick and beaten them over the head.

What can they do, admit they falsified the data or didnt submit it, and crime is actually up in their cities?

It is really quite funny...........

But what if the shooters were just responding to being bullied by other youths? I was told it would be justified then.

What If we took down some statues? Or just made white people feel racist for no reason.
I bet that would fix it.

7 deaths and 30+ wounded over a weekend would be all over the MSM if it occurred anywhere other than Chicago. But somehow the libs deem Chicago' as untouchable.

Trump deported 900,000 mostly criminals. Crime is lowest its been in decades.
But still blue cities crime is unacceptable. Elect MAGA mayors to reduce crime.

They could get their kill count up if they all just switched to shotguns.

I mean...if killing is the goal.

If they were more accurate theoretically we would see a brief spike and then a decline due to numbers.

I'm not sure I've seen very many stories of "Mass Shootings!!" when in reference to gang shootings that hit a lot of people.

No one will care as long as it stays out of the Loop and in the South Side

The Highland Park shooting happened in a rich, liberal and mostly Jewish suburb. This of course was horrible. 7 people killed with others wounded. But this is the westside and/or southside of Chicago body count on a typical summer weekend. This weekend 10 people were wounded at a party. So so media attention. If this happened in Naperville, LaGrange, Barrington or Deerfield then there would be cries to ban all guns.

That's definitely true and it's definitely intentional.

By not including gang shootings in "mass shootings" statistics, the media are able to frame a narrative about mass shootings that removes a lot of minorities from the statistics since most of the gang mass shootings are by blacks and Hispanics.
