Markie Marxist sez: “We Marxists have had a lot of success in Chicago. Things are going well there for us. We just have to expand that successful march towards communism to the rest of America, and with our man from Chicago in the White House, that is going to happen.”
The time period of 16 months is suspect, as it allows the inclusion of 2 summers, if chosen to do that. Like all other things, weather affects people’s behavior, and if you are snuggled down in your house for the winter you are less likely to be outside interrupting druggies doing their daily deals. Unless the data is broken down at least into monthly, and preferably into daily, data points, my response is that they chose enough months to get their shooting victims over the magic 500 number.
Out of curiosity, it’d be nice to see further study and find out how many disadvantaged decedent youts were brought to that condition while in the commission of a felony or high misdemeanor? Maybe livin’ the lifestyle?
UN-FUCKING-POSSIBLE with all that gun control and a brady state ranking at number 9. If only all states could have hundreds of public school students murdered annually. So every few months an equivalent number of children are murdered as columbine or Vtech? Please government, disarm me so that I may be defenseless.

I would be interested in seeing what they are calling “kids”. I don’t think 17 & 18 year old gang bangers should be call kids.

There’s a handgun ban in Chicago, oddly enough. Looks to me like it’s not working very well.

You know, of course, what this means: do gun control harder!
