QUOTE CC Flip Floop! QUOTE Do you realize over 5,500 men, women, and children have been murdered in Chicago since 9/11?
Outraged at the liberals that run that town and their policies that contribute to this carnage?
Of course not, because you're a simpleton.
nuff said... So now you’re advocating gun control?
Absolutely not.
You may need to re-read my post. I am implying that liberal policies (including their strict gun laws) are not working thus contributing to the massive murder rates.
I am further pointing out that alcitizens gets his panties in bunch when blaming deaths on Bush because of his political affiliation all the while his party is swimming in the same sewer.

I found it humorous that CC posted the number of homocides since 9/11 and alki then rebuttals with a link to a newpaper article pre-9/11.

FBI: Chicago passes New York as murder capital of U.S.

The city of Chicago registered more homicides than any city in the nation in 2012, surpassing even New York — despite the fact that the Second City has only one third as many residents as the Big Apple.
In new crime statistics released Monday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported 500 murders in Chicago in 2012, up sharply from the 431 recorded in 2011. New York reported 419 murders last year, compared with 515 in 2011.
But residents of Chicago and New York were much less likely to be victims of a homicide than residents of Flint, Mich. Sixty-three murders occurred in 2012 in Flint, a city of 101,632, meaning one in every 1,613 city residents were homicide victims. Detroit, which experienced 386 homicides in 2012, was almost as unsafe; that’s enough murders to account for one in every 1,832 residents.
So how's that murder rate working in Chicago?

So the total murders are high in a city with a high population. I'm shocked, shocked I say!! 
Per capita is always a more accurate focus, but media prefers to use aggregate numbers. The per capita murder rate of New Orleans is far higher than Chicago, and they're a state on the opposite spectrum of Illinois when it comes to gun control.
And since gun control measures are usually an issue of state law, consider that the murder rate per 100,000 in Louisiana is twice that of both Illinois and New York. Minnesota is known as much stricter on gun control than Louisiana or Texas, but our per capita murder rates are a fraction of their numbers, the rates per 100,000 murdered in Louisiana are nearly ten times higher than that of Minnesota.
If I was using conservative logic I would look at the high murder rates in Louisiana and Texas and blame it on conservatives, maybe I'd start a topic blaming Rick Parry and Bobby Jindal for contributing to all those deaths. 
S.B.

The total murders in Chicago was 399 in 1928. That was a few years before the National Firearms Act of 1934 instituting restrictions on machine guns and short-barrel shotguns, and long before the Gun Control Act of 1968. So obviously it's likely that year to year Chicago's murder rate is going to be in the several hundred regardless of whether gun control is non-existent (1928) or strict (currently).
If gun control is to blame, than why did 399 people get killed before modern gun control even began?
