PLEASE NOTE:
When I had my Ill. State Patrol issued Carry Permit back in the 90's, Chicago did not accept the Ill. State Permit.

Given, Chicago is a Top 5 STRICT GUN CONTROL CITY. Thugs and police are usually the only ones armed.

Therefore most of this 35 number likely represent Illegally carried (THUG) firearms.

#2 A lot of fatalities yes.

However, fatalities are running about 5% below last year's numbers.

Also, some past studies found that of the people killed by urban violence, over 70% were people previously convicted of felonies.

#3 /\ ....over 70% were people previously convicted of felonies.

So the problem appears to be resolving itself.

#4 Besoeker,

Yes. That is one reason cops aren't more aggressive in preventing gang wars which cause perhaps 50% of the fatalities. If you are a cop, why go all out to prevent thugs from killing eash other.

Of course there is collateral damage which sometimes indirectly leads to more gang opportunity.

A truly awful problem
