Newtown happens and the 2nd amendment should be repealed or altered? Newtown children 19 of 20 white. Chicago children mostly black. Media silent about Chicago violence. WHY?
Chicago : 446 school age children shot so in 2012 with strongest gun laws in country Yet the national media is silent??So why didn't ABC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, NBC raise Hell about these statistics?
By Clash Daily / 19 December 2012 /
The cesspool known as Chicago probably has the toughest gun laws in the country, yet despite all the shootings, murders, and bloodshed, you never hear a peep about this from the corrupt state run media. In Chicago , there have been446 school age children shot in leftist utopia run by Rahm Emanuel and that (also) produced Obama, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc. 62 school aged children have actually been killed by crazed nuts in Chicago so far in this year of 2013.
So why is not this news worthy? Is it because it would embarrass those anti-second amendment nuts who brag about Chicagos tough gun laws? Is it because most of the kids who were shot and killed were minorities, shot by minorities? Or is it because the corrupt media does not want to show Chicago in a bad light?

This is not news worthy?The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
President: Barack Hussein ObamaSenator: Dick DurbinHouse Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.Governor: Pat QuinnHouse leader: Mike MadiganAtty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25%- highest in country.
A culture of corruption that would make a liberal Louisiana politician blush with envy.
Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

Pick any red state city. Cite crime statistics. Add political hyperbole. Checkmate, Doug Giles. I didn't even work up a sweat to refute your blithering.
But what it really boils down to is this:
Gun violence is cheap and easy because guns are cheap and easy.
There is indeed a culture of corruption, and pointing across the aisle doesn't excuse you.
Public schools are grossly underfunded when, instead, we should be making them a top priority.
And for all these sins, Republicans can and should be excoriated.
No Republicans in Illinois? This might come as a shock to one half of their senate delegation and a whole bunch of reps from blood red districts all over the state.
446 gun deaths in 2012 is indeed a tragedy (though thats total, not just "school age children"). But its 54% less than the gun homicide rate in the early 1970s when Chicago implemented some of the toughest gun control laws in the country. Imagine that: gun control gets tighter, and gun homicides drop. And that was with the population increasing over the decades as well.
Its a concept that has shown up nationwide. For decades gun violence has actually been declining, while at the same time the percentage of households with a gun has also been declining. According to gun nuts this is the opposite of what should happen, since in their crazy minds more guns always means less crime. Not so if we look at things like "reality".
Chicago is also a very large city, so as bad as 500 gun homicides a year may be, the per capita rate is much lower than many other cities. In 2011 the per capita homicide rate in Chicago was 15.9 per 100K. This is lower than the rate in red state cities like New Orleans, Kansas City, Memphis and Atlanta, and pretty close to the rate in Milwaukee, WI, the supposedly armed and safe gun paradise touted in this fake sign.
