Even if the idiot democrats got their way there’s a possibility school shootings, which are minuscule compared to the number of homicides could decrease. However; more innocents outside of schools would be killed and none of what he proposed would put a dent in black on black crime or inner city crime. Which fits the racist democrat agenda.
Hey, Jackass! is a real time crime tracker for Chicago.
Since Jan. 1, 2022,
231 people have been shot and killed,
1007 have been shot and wounded,
for a total of 1238 people shot in Chicago this year.
77.5% of the victims were black, 16.9% Hispanic, and 5.6% white/other.
This is ongoing, happens every day of the week in Chitown.
The tracker says a person is shot every 2 minutes and 57 seconds, and
a person is murdered every 14 minutes and 8 seconds.
In spite of the severely restrictive gun control laws, both state and city,
the neighborhoods where most of the shootings occur are not by any stretch gun free zones.
Numbers vary depending on the researchers, but since 1982, between 1350 and 1400 people have been killed in mass shootings, that includes schools. 1400 killed over a period of 40 years averages at 35 victims per year.
And, it is the mass shootings in predominantly gun free zones that sets the left's anti-gun hair on fire.
What's wrong with this picture?
