    The MSM only cares when white people get murdered if the killing is a mass killing. The MSM only cares when black people get killed if the police did the killing.

    People never learn. Only when every man, woman, and child has a gun will the shootings stop.

    The Democratic Party leads the way on fighting inner city violence. The Republican Party fights all those efforts tooth and nail.

    That is such a ridiculous assertion. Putting a gun in everyone's hands will make everyone's trigger finger itchy.

    If the Republicans got out of the way or tried to help a lot could be accomplished.

    Don't blame anyone but yourselves for your failed policies.

    I agree, journalists nowadays do not seem to ask hard questions, I see this trend on all the major networks, fox, msnbc and even cnn - of course when they do, no one wants to talk to them, or in the Presidents case, they get attacked for it

    $$$ - simplest answer, big money involved

    and fear of going to prisons for long sentences

    that said, the war on drugs has been a failure, anyone that wants them can get them and rather then reduce crime, the war seems to create more crime

    same happened when alcohol was illegal, kids would die from walking in the woods and coming across a still

    The Democratic Party has had full control of Chicago for at least a half-century, bodeacea. They've done nothing for blacks or anyone else.

    did that work in the old west?

    the reality is, more guns, more people shot with guns

    lot of people have no business carrying a gun, people with anger control issues, drug issues, mental issues, ect......

    Same reason armies of men rape, pillage, and murder throughout Africa... Lack of prefrontal cortex development.

    If we hadn't rubbed out the mob they would handle this stuff for us.

    So many major cities are anti-gun and the gun violence is highest.

    You would think that, but Chicago is an amazing city that has faired very well over the years considering the mob domination starting the 19th century. Rampant gun lawlessness because of the Midwest's love for trading guns like they were bubble gum is largely to blame for gun violence in the city. .

    If they can get the pro gun states to take control of their guns then there wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately gun trading is a redneck industry. How many gun stores have there been in Chicago? So where are all those guns coming from? Irresponsible gun owners in nearby counties / other states.

    Ummm. No. If it was guns and the Midwest there would be a shooting every 15 minutes where I live. :)

    1) who knows. no one can ever know such a thing, in all cases wherein the shooter doesn't declare it.

    2) what does that have to do with it? you looking for excuses on account of skin tone?

    3) same place most crims get their guns, probably.

    Yet several of the most dangerous cities are in the Dems petri dish where they enjoy a super majority. Republicans don't even have a voice there.

    One thing is sure, however, Colorado has turned full blown blue state and the violence has increased exponentially.

    Guns are actually harmless in the hands of responsible people. And if a certain Demographics didn’t murder each other at higher rates per capita, our gun deaths wouldn’t look too bad. Gun murders are a gangster industry. And Guess who comprises most gangs? Yes you guessed it. NOT rednecks.

    Personal responsibility is key. I’ve been in countless guns stores and ranges. Often the nicest most responsible people you’ll meet. The movies LIE to you. Gun store owners won’t sacrifice their business for cash on the side. You’ll have to search long and hard to find any willing to do it.
