\"Chicago<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

You may have read that Chicago had about 50 gun victims this holiday weekend, 11 were killed at the latest count. So, according to CNN<\/a>, Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy took to the airwaves to make a call for tougher gun laws, you know because there aren’t enough already in one of the most heavily regulated city limits in this country. <\/p>\n

In 2013, 12 people died and 75 were injured during the four-day Independence Day holiday, according to CNN affiliate WLS.<\/p>\n

The holiday shootings follow a week in which Chicago had 52 shooting incidents, according to Police Department statistics. This year, as of June 29, Chicago police had recorded 880 shooting incidents, an average of nearly five a day.<\/p>\n

McCarthy said police will continue a summer program to flood high-violence areas with police, but he said that without stronger gun laws, police will continue to face an uphill battle.<\/p>\n

“There’s too many guns coming in and too little punishment going out,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think it’s nice that they live in a city where the criminals all obey the law. I guess they need to make assault with a firearm illegal, because the criminals, if they follow the laws, wouldn’t be shooting people otherwise. <\/p>\n

Silly Chicago, they forgot to make murder illegal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
