Well, those statistics are good news for Chicago. They make the city's murder rate look increasingly normal.

And no wonder, ammo is too scarce and expensive for much range time.

Re: Only in America
Tricked into participating in the filming of gun control/anti gun violence videos. Oh the outrage of it all.
'Former NRA president tricked into gun violence prevention video'
'Former NRA president tricked into gun violence prevention video'
A gun violence prevention group has released videos in which they trick famous pro-gun figures into addressing a sea of empty chairs, representing children and teenagers who were shot and killed before they could graduate from high school.
Change the Ref, a gun safety organization founded by Patricia and Manuel Oliver, whose son Joaquin was murdered in the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, released the videos Wednesday.
As drone videos show sweeps of thousands of empty white seats, overlaid audio from 911 calls brings in the terrified voices of students trapped in schools while bullets are flying.
Speaking to the empty chairs in the first video is NRA board member David Keene, who was the pro-gun group's president from 2011 to 2013.
Keene invokes the Virginian founding father, namesake of the fake James Madison Academy he thinks he's addressing, to ask that the graduating students uphold the second amendment that Madison is credited with authoring.
A woman who answered the phone at Keene's home declined to comment.

During a traffic stop last week, an Arkansas sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a teenage boy who was only armed with a neon-blue jug of antifreeze, family members told VICE News.
Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Davis stopped 17-year-old Hunter Brittain near Cabot, Arkansas, at about 3 a.m. last Wednesday, and it’s still unclear why. Hunter had been having trouble with his truck when Davis pulled in behind him outside of a local auto repair shop and flashed his emergency lights, according to the account of a 16-year-old riding with Hunter at the time. When Hunter went to put the antifreeze behind his back tire so his vehicle wouldn’t roll into the officer’s, Davis allegedly fired at him.
“Before he could get there, he was shot in the neck,” Hunter’s uncle, Jesse Brittain, told VICE News. “We can’t begin to understand why he would take a shot at that boy.”

Re: Only in America
All wars are fought with weapons, and the guns used to murder tens of thousands of people in the Mexican War on Drugs mostly come from America.
From handguns, to AK-47s and 50-calibre sniper rifles, weak US gun laws allow the drug cartels to arm themselves to the point where they can take on the Mexican army, shoot down military helicopters and take over entire cities. The trade in illegal drugs and illegal guns are inextricably linked.
This is how the War on Drugs is actually fought.

I thought it would be useless to try to fight an army with civilian weaponry, particularly since Sleepy Joe has no problem nuking the civilian population.Seabass wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 10:46 pmFrom handguns, to AK-47s and 50-calibre sniper rifles, weak US gun laws allow the drug cartels to arm themselves to the point where they can take on the Mexican army, shoot down military helicopters and take over entire cities.
