As of November 23, there had been 2703 shootings which resulted in 440 deaths year-to date in heavily gun-controlled Chicago.
That is an increase of approximately 400 shootings over the same time last year.
The Chicago Tribune reported these numbers as part of their broader coverage of the 11 people shot, five killed, over the course of last weekend alone. Half of those wounded were shot on November 22 "between about 12:25 p.m. and 8:40 p.m." Three of those killed were shot on that same day, between those same hours as well.
It is worth noting that while this violence proves the impotency of gun control in general, it is especially damning when juxtaposed with some of the most recent gun control endeavors in particular.........
Indeed, if proof were needed that 'gun control' does not work, this must be it. No amount of draconian control measures, which punish the good guys, will ever significantly affect the gang culture and the associated socio-economic factors within which they live.
