2,986 Shooting
Victims in Gun-Controlled Chicago During 2015
by AWR Hawkins 1 Jan 2016
On January 1, the Chicago Tribune reported that the number
of shooting victims in gun-controlled Chicago for 2015 was
2,986.
Mind you, Chicago has a “violence tax” that raises the
price of every gun and bullet sold at retail, an “assault weapons” ban, limits
on the number of gun stores and the locations of those stores, and what the New York Times describes as handgun
restrictions that let city leaders “get as close as they could get legally to a
ban without a ban.”
The result? According to the Chicago Tribune,
there has been nearly 3,000 shooting victims in one year’s time.
And the Tribune
reports approximate 470 homicides for Chicago in 2015, which means gun-controlled
Chicago had “the most violent year of all major U.S. cities.” It is the worst
year the city has seen since 2012, “when 500 people were killed.”
On October 27, President Obama tried to blame Indiana and Wisconsin for the gun control failure
in Chicago. His line of reasoning was that the pro-Second Amendment stance of
Indiana and Wisconsin led to guns flooding into Chicago from out of
state. Bretibart News previously
reported that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)
made a similar move on September 17, when he blamed southern states for New York City’s soaring rate of firearm-related homicides.
