CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) -
A West Town neighborhood man became the city's first homicide victim of the New Year, which so far has seen at least ten other people wounded in separate shootings, authorities said.

The first homicide of the New Year occurred when police responded at 3:45 a.m. to a call of a person down in the alley of the 700 block of North Noble Street, police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said. Officers discovered a 20-year-old man laying on the ground and bleeding from a gunshot wound to the throat.

About as well as the gun laws in Mexico where only the police and military are allowed to have auto and semi-auto firearms.

Gun laws are right up there with the liberal fascination with socialism/communism:

"The only reason socialism/communism/gun control has never worked in history is because it hasn't been implemented and resourced the right way. However, the enlightened liberals of today know exactly how to make it work flawlessly."

Found this to be interesting. Can they add any more fuel to the fire?

Could any of the QPs here share the secret of effecting change of a communist/socialist regime.

We have a little problem and the sheeple forgot how to vote. An alternative method maybe needed.

No magic strategy, tactics or technique. Simply get somebody to run against the libs who has a set of balls and isn't afraid to be a Conservative.

Doesn't work when one faction doesn't feel they should have to pay for their soda.

We wouldn't have a socialist in control right now if 8 million Conservatives had bothered to get off the couch and vote. Romney couldn't get through to the base because the base wants Conservatism, not ingratiation.

What we need to start doing right now is open up all the intrigue surrounding Hillary Clinton, and/or begin to expose the faults of any other commie the libs prop up for 2016 while finding a strong rep for our side, then run interference for him for four years (if the Country doesn't go tits up during that time).

To paraphrase Maggie again, "Socialism's fine until you run out of other people's money".

It frankly amazes me that people can't understand that Chicago is a microcosm of the way this Country as a whole will be under the current leadership.

The disappointing fact here is there are so many examples throughout the world of failed policies and yet our brand of socialist thinks theirs is different and altruistic. Those receiving hand outs, just keep taking and taking. So much the better that the tax payers can't defend themselves against criminals and tyrants. I believe somebody before said it best: Gun control is not about guns, but Control.

Have you ever been to Chicago?
It is this awesome fun town with a million things to do. Great places to eat, incredible music, It is pretty and exciting and vibrant with world class museums and universities; and a big lake that thinks and acts like an ocean. There is a music festival on the waterfront in the summer and the El is a blast.
People are so nice, they smile all the time and are friendly and helpful.
In the wintertime the weather can be so awful people are forced to abandon their cars on the main drag (last winter our Ski Patrol was asked to help rescue people only we couldn't get there!)
They have the Bears, and the Cubbies (God Bless em and you Big Teddy) and the Bulls were awesome (I hate the White Soxs).

Chicago is 5 hours by train from me and that's right where I like em. Five hours away. Close enough that I can go anytime I want and far enough away that I can point to the north and laugh when someone asks me about Chicago. We let em put Illinois on the address but we don't claim em and they don't care. We refer to them as the Fifty First State. They are like a weird loveable brother that does everything to extreme. You love him and are sure he'd be "just fine" if he got a job and stopped running with that bad crowd.

Well said.

Chicago, Wash DC, both gun free and both murder capitals for decades. I've only been to Chicago a few times but I've been to Wash DC a few dozen times and every time I've gone there and stayed the night I've heard gunfire. And that as recent as last year.
Take away the guns and the crime skyrockets. Don't have to be Einstein to figure that one out.
