I’m betting Obama won’t be touting Chiraq’s record of gun violence at his town hall meeting on reducing gun violence, scheduled for this Thursday.
These blog posts I do on Chiraq’s gun violence every weekend are like a broken record. As you know, Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. But that never, ever stops the criminals.
Over the Christmas weekend, Chiraq saw 3 dead and 14 wounded. During the New Year’s Eve weekend, they out did themselves: Three people were killed and at least 36 others were wounded in shootings across the city over the New Year’s holiday weekend. Read all the details at MyFoxChicago here.
