Number of CPS students shot rises, as does fear of more to come?

The number of Chicago Public Schools students killed in gun violence this past
school year dipped slightly from the previous year, but the total number of
students who were shot was up sharply, according to figures from Chicago
police.

Twenty-four students were fatally shot during the school year
that ended June 15, four fewer than in the 2010-11 year. But the overall
shooting toll — 319 — was the highest in four years and a nearly 22 percent
increase from the previous school year.

    But, but , but, it's completely illegal to carry any type of gun in Chicago!

    You can't even touch a gun in a store without a Firearms Owner Identification Card.

    And all bout one gun in your home have to be stored disassembled.

    How is it possible these criminals are getting guns?

    But we have to protect the second amendment even if it kills you (or your kid). What a waste and what a shame. Just more evidence of how really "Christian" this nation really is.

    You do realize Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the entire nation right?

    It doesn't do a damn thing to stop the shootings.

    Maybe because the criminals breaking the laws against shooting people also ignore the gun laws?

    The UK is facing the same situation, gun violence is rising sharply among the criminal gangs there too.

    As I said lets protect the second amendment. I frankly don't care that suicide it the number one gun death in the United States. Just keep you phallic symbols away from me. As I have said before if you want to reduce gun violence connected with drugs, do away with the stupid drug laws which are ignored in the first place. After booze was legalized again, gun violence decreased soon after.

    This is the result of living in an anti-gun city?
