Chicago Shootings Spike 49% In November Despite Strict Gun Laws

By Gregory Gwyn-Williams, Jr.
December 4, 2012

There were 192 shootings in Chicago throughout the month of November - a 49 percent increase from a year earlier - according to police records obtained by the Chicago Tribune.

In November of 2011, Chicago recorded 129 shootings compared to the 192 shootings this November. Police records also reveal that shootings increased more than 11 percent in the first 11 months of 2012 compared with a year earlier.

Total homicides in Chicago rose to 480 for the first eleven months of 2012; a 21 percent increase from last year. On November 30, 2012, there were four fatal shootings within the city. These murders brought the homicide total to 38 for the month, just above the 37 recorded in November of last year.

Despite having some of the strictest gun laws in the country, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans on restricting gun ownership further by banning individuals with a violent misdemeanor conviction from getting a gun permit for five years. The mayor also hopes to ban convicted felons from ever owning a gun.

Emanuel's intentions are no doubt well intentioned, but like many cities with strict gun laws, the disarming of law-abiding citizens doesn't remove guns from the hands of those who wish to do harm. On the contrary, it often leaves innocent victims vulnerable to criminals.

CNSNews.com previously reported that a gun-rights group said that Mayor Emanuel bears some responsibility for the murder rate because of the strict gun-control laws there:

"Rahm Emanuel has some blood on his hands," said Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, in a statement.

"He and the city council have done everything possible to prevent law-abiding Chicago residents from exercising their restored Second Amendment rights in the two years since the Supreme Court's landmark McDonald ruling."

In June 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against a handgun ban in the city of Chicago in McDonald v. Chicago.

Four days later however, the Chicago City Council adopted the Responsible Gun Owners Ordinance. This requires prospective gun owners to take a firearm safety course at a gun range in order to obtain a permit to own a gun in a home. The city also placed a virtual ban on gun ranges.

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says that the Chicago City Council has been blocking Chicagoans from obtaining handguns and range-training; the result being that law-abiding citizens are left defenseless.

Should Black People Tolerate This?
Walter E. Williams

May 23, 2012

Each year, roughly 7,000 blacks are murdered. Ninety-four percent of the time, the murderer is another black person. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means that 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation's population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims. Nationally, black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it's 22 times that of whites. Coupled with being most of the nation's homicide victims, blacks are most of the victims of violent personal crimes, such as assault and robbery.

The magnitude of this tragic mayhem can be viewed in another light. According to a Tuskegee Institute study, between the years 1882 and 1968, 3,446 blacks were lynched at the hands of whites. Black fatalities during the Korean War (3,075), Vietnam War (7,243) and all wars since 1980 (8,197) come to 18,515, a number that pales in comparison with black loss of life at home. It's a tragic commentary to be able to say that young black males have a greater chance of reaching maturity on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan than on the streets of Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, Newark and other cities.

A much larger issue is how might we interpret the deafening silence about the day-to-day murder in black communities compared with the national uproar over the killing of Trayvon Martin. Such a response by politicians, civil rights organizations and the mainstream news media could easily be interpreted as "blacks killing other blacks is of little concern, but it's unacceptable for a white to kill a black person."

There are a few civil rights leaders with a different vision. When President Barack Obama commented about the Trayvon Martin case, T. Willard Fair, president of the Urban League of Greater Miami, told The Daily Caller that "the outrage should be about us killing each other, about black-on-black crime." He asked rhetorically, "Wouldn't you think to have 41 people shot (in Chicago) between Friday morning and Monday morning would be much more newsworthy and deserve much more outrage?" Former NAACP leader Pastor C.L. Bryant said the rallies organized by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson suggest there is an epidemic of "white men killing black young men," adding: "The epidemic is truly black-on-black crime. The greatest danger to the lives of young black men are young black men."

Not only is there silence about black-on-black crime; there's silence and concealment about black racist attacks on whites -- for example, the recent attacks on two Virginian-Pilot newspaper reporters set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks. The story wasn't even covered by their own newspaper. In March, a black mob assaulted, knocked unconscious, disrobed and robbed a white tourist in downtown Baltimore. Black mobs have roamed the streets of Denver, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland, Washington, Los Angeles and other cities, making unprovoked attacks on whites and running off with their belongings.

Racist attacks have been against not only whites but also Asians. Such attacks include the San Francisco beating death of an 83-year-old Chinese man, the pushing of a 57-year-old woman off a train platform and the knocking of a 59-year-old Chinese man to the ground, which killed him. For years, Asian school students in New York and Philadelphia have been beaten up by their black classmates and called racist epithets -- for example, "Hey, Chinese!" and "Yo, dragon ball!" But that kind of bullying, unlike the bullying of homosexuals, goes unreported and unpunished.

Racial demagoguery from the president on down is not in our nation's best interests, plus it's dangerous. As my colleague Thomas Sowell recently put it, "if there is anything worse than a one-sided race war, it is a two-sided race war, especially when one of the races outnumbers the other several times over."

Chicago Shootings Spike 49% In November Despite Strict Gun Laws

This points the finger at something other than strict gun control, hmmm.
So I gather that it's possible more governmental control actually exacerbates the problem.

Really puts things in perspective. The tolerance of criminal behavior and it's majority, inner city crime, is a microcosm of our society. The media in general will not touch the real issues.
In their defense if they were to cover or even report every black on black crime the news would run well over the allotted time. Truly sad statistics.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people

That's right. There's no getting away from personal responsiblity. If you try, it just opens a labyrinth of misery. Men must be held accountable for their actions.

Gun control is a propaganda term for an attempt to disarm the only people who will follow the law the (mostly white) middle class. The black thugs who shoot up chicago daily will still have guns. The Fast-and-Furious feds will still have guns.

Criminals will have the green light to prey on people they know are disarmed. There have been interiews with criminals, and they always say the thing that gives them the most pause is knowing that a man or household is armed.

Governments killed hundreds of millions of their own citizens last century. They have a much easier time doing that when the population is disarmed and defenseless. Look at our government today - it sides with the illegal alien over the native. It sides with the criminals over the working straights.

Our nation is not truly a nation any longer, in my opinion. It's in a pre-crackup stage. California is leading the way. Full of third-worlders and socialist benefits programs that have led to bankruptcy.

Barack Obama, Eric Holder and the rest of the administration hate normal white people and love criminal invaders. While they arm mexican gangsters, they try to take guns away from law-abiding normals. I think I'd rather keep my guns. I don't trust Obama or anti-white Holder.

If a person is going to kill someone they can do it in many ways, imagine if this kid Friday would have used a pipe bomb instead of a gun? Would Obama want to ban fertilizer? What a fucking joke to take away our rights, he wants total control of us, he is on the way one step at a time, then Obama appoints himself king in 2016. :sadwave:

Guns don't kill people, people kill people

Actually guns don't kill people, bullets kill people.

People with guns which fire bullets kill people.

Ever heard of 20 kindergarten kids being killed with a banana have you? Or a golf club? Or a peanut butter sandwich?

Take away the guns, arm the nutjobs with toothpicks, and see how many mass murders there are.

Take away the guns, and all the bullets on earth won't kill people.

Aussies don't have guns. There are fewer than 35 gun killings per year there.

Have the people in Australia been enslaved by their government? NO.

We have 9000 guns deaths per year. Every nutjob in the country can get a gun.

Now stop being a stupid, taiint-licking, NRA bitch.

It's good to hear from civil, reasonable and intelligent people.
Would the gun powder have any part in it?

Australia doesn't have a bunch of illiterates moving in and bringing down society either based on the percentages of their population:
Australia - white 92%, Asian 7%, aboriginal and other 1%

By the way have you seen your avatar lately, you should probably remove the gun and replace it with a bullet. :0074

 

[azbob]

As long as these murders occur over a period of time and don't happen in a mostly white school in a mostly white state, who cares?

(for you mouthbreathers, I am being sarcastic to show the lunacy in the lack of attention to this issue which is on the rise in every city in the country) Too bad The Obama doesn't think the victims "look like my son" as maybe someone including his henchman mayor of Chicago will do anything about it.

 

[doubleornothing]

Yeah because if Obama had a son "he would look like Trayvon" what an absolutely asinine statement from our Pres.

Say there, asshole: have you noticed that the 20 children and six adults slaughtered in CT were all white, middle class as was the killer?


And, other than proving you are a moron, your point is........ ?

Well, fuck you, the azzbob. Even a simpleton like you can look at the Just Dept/FBI stats and see that the violent crime rate in the USA has been declining for more than ten years.

So your "on the rise" comes from where? Out your anus?

Well you are obviously illiterate because you can't comprehend anything in this post otherwise you would understand that it is about gun crime, high rates even in cities with strict gun laws, and...awhh forget it you must not know how to read.

Then why in the hell do we need to get rid of all our guns? Man you really are as stupid as your avatar, wow!

Do you have even a clue what "violent crime" includes? Obviously not.

Now stop sending me those private messages. I know you like 'em big, black and loaded, and I've already told you, you can''t suck my dick. Try azbob. He swings both ways.
