Not to sound racist but what percentage of these shootings were black on black violence. Where's Obama's outrage at the violence in his hometown. I guess unless it's white on black violence it doesn't matter to him.

Maybe they just miss Obama so much the natives are getting restless. If that's the case, by all means take him!
Maybe they should set up a gun free zone around the police stations and allow the schools to arm themselves with howitzers. ...

For turning any cop shop into a helpless victim zone: you really ARE a sadist.
Most of the LEOs I know carry concealed off duty for more than policy:
they HAVE to, because home is turning into a really putrid four-letter word
for a lot of them. And only from this end, I'd rather somebody who trains
five to ten times as often as I do be the one to break up a fire fight.

Chicago, the U.S. city with the strictest gun control laws on the nation had September as the deadliest month with gun violence since 2002.
"Despite the familiar media refrain that Chicago is the nation’s murder capital, the “windy city” does not even qualify as one of the nation’s top 25 most dangerous cities for homicide."
In 2011, the last year where records have been tabulated to compare cities, according to FBI statistics, Chicago, with a per capita murder rate of 15.9/per 100,000 residents, ranked behind over three dozen (36) other American cities."
"In 2011, the city’s murder rate was less than half that of the cities of New Orleans (57.6/per 100,000), Detroit (48.2) and St. Louis (35.3)."

Ironic, isn't it? This posted just last year, claiming that the new concealed carry permits were reducing crime in Chicago.

What is ironic is that you are assuming that because some people in Chicago got their concealed carry, then all crime should be stopped.

I think it's time for the anti-gunners to admit gun control doesn't work, and armed citizens are the answer to crime.

I agree with CB328 (above). If more armed citizens is the answer to crime, Chicago would seem to be an exception to the rule.
