Chicago War Zone

[fsu1jreed]

Explain to us please where someone from Chicago can drive 15-20 mins from downtown and "get all the guns they want".
Keep in mind handguns are used in 99 % of the gun violence in Chicago. I'm sure you're extremely well versed on the gun laws in Chicago and Illinois.
You've been fed a line of bullshit about gun laws being lax outside of Chicago being to blame for all the violence and you call other people stupid. Jfc.

Lol... here's a screenshot, but Google this and then pick any number of pins,

'gun store right outside chicago illinois'





You're the one that believes in bullshit, did you think they were coming from Mexico? And that doesn't include the one right across the border in Indiana that's being sued because of the number of guns linked to it

Inside the Notorious Gun Shop Linked to Hundreds of Chicago Guns

The story of one Indiana store demonstrates how the more than 60,000 gun retailers in America have little financial incentive to say no to questionable buyers and face limited penalties for failing to prevent illegal transactions.

Lol, no one said there weren't gun shops outside of Chicago. You're dumb ass claimed these thugs are just driving 15-20 mins outside of town and buying them, which is horribly misinformed and just plain dumb. They aren't obtaining the guns being used in these shootings legally.

 

[IAFB2021Champs]

Go walk the streets of southside Chicago at night and report back to us if you live long enough to do that then do the same in CR. But keep using statistics to say which city is safer. Oh, and good luck.

Maybe he should start with Cedar Rapids first just so we have a little bit more of the research completed.

 

[EagleHawk]

Minneapolis had 122 reported rapes and 434 robberies in 2017.

OK, in light of this statistic, how could anyone ever believe this story was true?


More than 26,000 Texans are estimated to have become pregnant as a result of a rape since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade in June 2022 — the highest number among the 14 states that enacted total abortion bans after the high court ended the federal right to terminate a pregnancy, according to a peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

[RicoSuave102954]

Have you been to large cities? I am pretty sure all of them have neighborhoods that are unsafe. I have been to Chicago, LA, NYC, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, San Fran, etc. etc. It isn't new and if I had to bet, my guess would be they're not going away. What's your point?

You can easily catch the dead in Chicago right in the middle of downtown, I LOL at you people who try to deflect by pointing to a certain part of town when you know it happens everywhere in these shithole cities.

No shit. It happens everywhere all over the place and it isn't something I worry about. You do you though. Keep your Kleenex handy.

There sure are a lot of people walking and driving around downtown Chicago tempting death. And it's odd how happy and festive and carefree they all seem to be.

Outside... they're fvcking minutes from fvcking downtown Chicago. Hey moron, use the map function and it'll tell you how minutes it takes to get there.

 

[IowaHawkIT]

A fourth person has died as the result of an attack in rural Linn County last week. Rural Iowa is a war zone.
https://www.kcrg.com/2024/06/09/fourth-victim-rural-linn-county-murders-dies-injuries/

Obviously, you didn't read your own article. Those murders happened with a metal pipe, not a gun, so they cannot be discussed. Only gun violence can be discussed, all other murders are just footnotes.

I thought that Abbott outlawed that, no? Should be zero.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

You're completely missing the point. The people shooting each other in Chicago aren't going to a gun shop, after first getting a FOID card as required in Illinois, passing a mandatory back ground check, waiting 72 hours, then going back to pick up their gun they intend to shoot someone with. The whole idea that the gun free zone in Chicago is circumvented by gun shops right outside city limits is laughable. And regardless, gun laws don't matter when the lead DA in the city won't prosecute people found with illegal guns.

More than 30 injured in weekend shootings in Chicago; alderman pushes curfew for downtown

Regular classes for Chicago Public Schools ended just days ago, and in this time, several teens have been shot.

www.cbsnews.com

8:00 curfew for young people being proposed.

Unbelievable violence.

This is laughable as none of the teens will follow it and non of the parents will enforce it.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Just another political stunt. Unfortunately law enforcement will be stuck dealing with it and it will have zero effect.

 

[RicoSuave102954]

And some of them will get shot whether they are happy or not.

 

[RileyHawk]

And some of them will get shot whether they are happy or not.

And that portion will be similar to the number who get shot in CR.

Seems you are easily frightened and afraid of the miniscule chance you will have such an encounter. It's best, for you, that you stay at home. The rest of us will enjoy our lives exploring and interacting.

I wonder where the south side of Chicago, by itself would rate?

 

[ihhawk]

Just don’t want you to take another sabbatical. We need your comedy. When you say things like “Desantis would be the best president in the history of America” & “Us whities never do anything wrong, it’s always the blacks” it provides many laughs. Keep us laughing, don’t leave!

I’m just glad I occupy your thoughts, jealousy I guess. No one knows who you are

And most of those shooters have come from Chicago on the MegaBus, I am sure. So we should add CR stats to Chicago. CR is a very safe town.

According to a February 2023 Chicago Sun-Times article, most guns traced to crimes in Chicago, about 16,500, were purchased in Illinois, with about 8,200 more coming from Indiana. The ATF also found that suburbs surrounding Chicago, such as Lyons, Oak Forest, Riverdale, Melrose Park, and Gary, Indiana, are top local sources of guns used in crimes. Other states that have been linked to guns used in Chicago crimes include Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri, and Georgia.

Yeah but that doesn't fit the narrative so we can absolutely throw it out

 

[Bulldogs1974]

I always chuckle at the simpletons that bring up Chicago and never look at violent crime statistics to see how many of them are in red states.

I'm pretty sure Shitcago has more people shot than in Cedar Rapids.

Good thing they are the same sized cities.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

That's a really weird deflection. Strangely it's become some kind of liberal litmus test to pretend what's going on in Chicago and other big cities is somehow normal and acceptable.

Seriously?

Democrats in Illinois will surely fix this with tried and true solutions.

Red states lead the nation in gun violence, AINEC. So much for their dumbass “solutions”…

I wasn't the one who claimed both Cedar Rapids and Shitcago had the same amount of shootings.

The mayhem wasn’t concentrated in a few particular neighborhoods; it was widely dispersed, from the Far North Side to the Far South Side and places in between. It was the third weekend in a row, beginning with Memorial Day weekend, that more than 30 people suffered gunshot wounds.
