Typical Chicago weekend nothing to see here.

They say that gun violence in the U.S. is due to not enough gun control laws governing gun ownership by legal gun owners.
You know, the legal gun owner types, that possess NRA membership, that support Trump, that are America-loving patriots.
I am guessing that not too many of those were responsible for the gun deaths in Chicago.
But, hey, more gun control laws for the legal gun owners who don't actually commit these crimes....

Typical American weekend.

Typical Chicago weekend.

The South leads the country in homicides per capita, so yes, it is Trump's America-hating traitors that are the problem.

A vast majority of legal gun owner types, that possess NRA membership, that support Trump, that are America-loving patriots also support stronger gun laws.

Nah just Chicago.
Other US cities just dont have this consistency every weekend that Chicago has.

323 people shot and killed in Chicago in less than 7 months.

Thought Baltimore was a lot, but they "only" had 330 for the whole year of 2022.

So many gun killings and rising, and here we still have people enabling and making red herring arguments, not acknowledging how damaging guns are in the USA, and blaming what? Chicago?? pffft.
The downward all of America trend continues, as the 'people kill people, not guns' wears thinner and thinner.

Guess you need to read.
I said consistency “every” weekend.

Chicago 6 dead on the weekend. plus 20 wounded according to the article.
but your link actually shows 8 for Chicago.
more than any other state has, except California which had 10.
with Chicago of course being a city not a state the size of CA.

Pretty clear what the data says;
The states with the highest murder rates in the United States are Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alaska, Maryland, Oklahoma, Mississippi and North Carolina.

By my count, that's 8 Red, 2 Blue...

At this rate the USA will run out of people to murder, then they will have to go elsewhere.............Oh wait, they do.

More young black men killing other young black men over drugs, respect, turf, or some other pointless nonsense.

The place has definitely gone to the dogs since Frank sang about it.
Chicago, Chicago, that toddling town
Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my hometown
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around, I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just wanna say
They do things that they never do on Broadway, say
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago
That's my hometown

A nonsensical statement, but don't worry, we will continue to protect your country.

Quite a small number given the number of deaths attributed to other factors, but it is something for the non-Americans to sensationalize, when they do not understand the demographics and other factors.
At the end of the day, hit by a car, hit by a bullet, death is the last stop.

Freer than your country, I guarantee it.
Oh cool, you came up with a name. You don't know whether treason will win out in 2024 or beyond. None of us do.
