Chicago Murders and Crime

The Media focus on guns and the crimes that people commit with them has become almost an outright oppression of factual reporting, replaced by an Anti-Gun Agenda. Let's look at some facts and then you decide if what I am saying has any basis... FBI Reports have stated that Chicago,Illinois has the highest number of Criminal Gang Members of any City in our Nation, there are reportedly, over 150,000 Criminal Gang Members. FBI Statistics, rate Chicago as the Murder Capitol of our entire Nation. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, has reported that the Cook County Jail is filled to its 10,250 Prisoner capacity and that up to 30% are insane or seriously Mentally Ill. Now the simple fact that 15 times as many Criminal Gang Members live in Chicago, as the Jail could even hold...if it were not full already, seems to tell what the real issue is in Chicago and Cook County. It is the number of Criminals, living in Chicago and Cook County that are commiting these crimes. There is no place to lock up even 1% of these Criminals... that is 15,000 people. Now, our Chicago Mayor says that it is the guns and the State of Indiana, that is to blame. CPD Comm. McCarthy blames guns too and that the people of Indiana are not oppressed as much as the State of Illinois, with very strict gun laws. Yet, Indiana does not have a violent crime issue, like Chicago, Illinois. Cook County protects the Criminals residing within its boarders... no Bounty Hunter can Arrest a Criminal in Cook County and bring them to Justice. It is against the Law to enforce the law in Cook County. No Illegal Alien can be Arrested by Federal Immagration Officials in Cook County or Chicago. The Criminals in Cook County, have more Rights than you do! The agenda of blaming guns and trying to violate your Constitutional Rights, while protecting criminals is a Chicago tradition. Just look at the over 700 Pardons that Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has handed out. Over 700, that is 10 times more than any other Governor in the history of the State of Illinois! Anti-Gun, Governor Quinn loves Criminals and then says look...look at the bad thing that the Criminal did with a "GUN". The non-sense has got to stop, the oppression of law abidding gun owners has got to stop. The prejudice, hate mongering and abuse of Second Amendment Defenders has got to stop, the truth is easy to see and understand... the Media and our Chicago Politicians are lying to us. The overwhelming number of Criminals in Chicago and Cook County are the reason for the Crime and Murders... not legally owned guns.
