Seriously, how do you not that? Homicides topped out at nearly one thousand a year. last year they had five hundred.
You guys are beating the war drum using Chicago as an example, when homicides are down by half. You guys also use the UK as an example, and they have less gun violence there then the Swiss.
WTF?

I'll go with all the things being reported instead of what you are saying. Here is just ONE report on it.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...n_2378073.html
That is for 2012: "Plagued by gang violence, Chicago surpassed last year's murder total of 433 in October and is set for the highest rate of homicide since the third largest U.S. city recorded 512 in 2008. The number is likely to top 500 on the last weekend of the year."
I don't know where you are getting your info on that. But you are 100% WRONG.
EDIT: The year before (2011) that you tried to claim was twice as much...was LESS by the way. That's why the news is saying homicide has SPIKED UP in Chicago despite the toughest gun laws in the country.
