Why "Chicago" is a Bad Gun-Rights Argument

19. Well, I don't know the view from a cafe in Rome, but living here is another matter

Murders in the city are approaching record highs this year.

Every Monday the Tribune gives us the "box scores" of how many shot and how many dead.

We have a higher death rate than Afghanistan, the Sun Times noted last month.

We are 38% ahead of last year in murders.

The police are now attending all gang member's funerals with locked and loaded M4 carbines since a drive by killed 2 rival gang bangers.

There have been several shooting on North Michigan Avenue, our main downtown shopping district, so the violence is not restricted to a few neighborhoods.

They just passed a $25 tax on every firearm sold in Cook County with another proposed 5 cents tax per round on ammo sold.

The city is still dragging its feet and fighting the McDonald decision, so it's almost impossible to keep a gun in your home.

Yeah, I can see why some guy living 9000 miles away would be stupid enough to think gun control is working really well here.

Perhaps Mike B and his like minded friends would like to take a field trip to Englewood, Chatham, Pilsen, or any of the other great gun free zones we have.
