Chicago does not have a gun problem. They have a gang problem.

Last weekend (July 4th) they had several shootings, and the event got similar publicity. They neglected to mention in the paper that one of the shootings was a valid self-defense by a newly minted concealed carry permit holder.

The publicity is likely part of an orchestrated campaign to convince the sheeple that "guns are bad" and that they should go back to the restrictions Chicago has had for the past decades.

Lost in all of this is the true cause of crime.... Think of all the children that are victims... (you know, the 15-19 year olds... the ones in the gangs.... )
