I wonder how many people were murdered in The Windy City since the beginning of this month. These stats are through almost the end of July... https://www.chicagotribune.com/data/ct-shooting-victims-map-charts-htmlstory.html 1

We've done a lot to address this. More than anyone knows. Buh-leeve me. More to do. But we've done a lot. Trust me.

Nice map. More guns in other jurisdictions is the problem... They are flooding in from some where close like Indiana that shares a border with Chicago. I can't see how letting up on guns will help. At least there was only one non-fatal in the neighborhood (Hegewisch, SE Side) where I work... Pretty calm and none within miles. Even the projects are quiet by my work. The real problem is west of city. This all must be gang related. Guns must be pouring in from somewhere close. Chicago is a rail hub... Why are they shipping arms through Chicago where they get stolen? https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-chicago-railroad-thefts-20170303-story.html Edited August 7, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois

Just sayin.... I just looked at my neighborhood where I work. One non-fatal... None within miles. Pretty calm down there. I have said... This spills onto The Mag Mile, Michigan Avenue.. things will change in this country fast... Just like with the gangsters & mob 90 years ago! People don't follow laws either. They run red lights... Think a gun law will stop them from driving 5 miles and crossing into Indiana to get guns and fireworks. On Sunday, get booze, hard liquor at gas station in Illinois. One state helps the other!

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) There was a bigger border between the food festival and outside than Chicago and the Suburbs and State of Indiana. Indiana is one of the most conservative, pro-guns and Chicago anti-gun. Who do you think will win the arms race. Create a buffer zone between country and city... Get rid of guns in city... And maybe more will slow to come in. Firearms is just like immigration. You can't stop it, just redirect the flow. Don't need borders... Just need four states to enact same gun laws. Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, & Michigan. A 200 mile separation from the lax Red states keeps the flow down. And stop transportation of arms through Chicago. Like my link above... They aren't reporting the thefts. Edited August 7, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) This is why it took off, a string of big crimes: Railroad thefts and guns. Railcars are positioned in Hammond, Ind., to cross over the Calumet River into Chicago. "The 2015 heist of over 100 guns, preceded by one in 2014, and another last September from a Chicago rail yard highlight a tragic confluence. When street-gang thieves slipped with ease into a Norfolk Southern rail yard on Chicago's South Side and ripped locks off one train, they likely expected to see merchandise like toys or tennis shoes. What they beheld instead was a gangster's jackpot: box after box of brand new guns. The guns had been en route from New Hampshire weapon maker Sturm, Ruger & Co. to Spokane, Washington. Instead, the .45-caliber Ruger revolvers and other firearms spread quickly into surrounding high-crime neighborhoods. Along with two other major gun thefts within three years, the robbery helped fuel a wave of violence on Chicago's streets." Edited August 7, 2019 by ExiledInIllinois

Why on earth would you not want something like that shut down? The only benefit to keeping it going is for the FBI to make a list of people to watch ... and prevent from purchasing/owning any weapons. Explain. You know what I'd rather see shut down than 8chan? CNN, the NYT and WaPo. Why? They routinely pawn off lies as truth and do so to a mass audience that's orders of magnitude larger than a site of 8chan's stature. And believe me, I've been of that opinion for 20 years. Pretty soon places like 8chan will be the only refuge for anyone who dares to disagree with the left and their cultural commissars. Lord knows mainstream social media doesn't allow it. 4 hours ago, Johnny Hammersticks said: A dude walking into a food festival and greasing 20 people is different than some drug dealers/gangsters killling eachother in Chicago.

You are right, Gugny, in that most mass shootings (in the truest definition) are comitted by white males with legally obtained firearms. It is also true that those murders comprise a fraction of the (on average) 13,000 - 15,000 murders in this country each year. It is also true that the majority of the overall murders in this country are comitted by non-white males and, in those murders where firearms are used, most are not obtained legally.
