Well Monday was busy with 5 and 1. It really never stops but they only give weekend totals usually.
This doesn't list the others like stabbings and such, which happen all the time as well.

Sounds like Memphis in the 1920's through the 1930's when it was the Murder Capital of the US. The Chicago Mayor will say "guns" and "Republicans" are the cause but their last Republicam mayor was in the 1930's or so.
Cain didn't have a gun when he killed Abel. Lizzie Borden didn't have a gun. Guns aren't the problem now - just people who have zero control of their emotions and/or see zero value in the lives of others - as Hillary and Nancy only see value in those who can make them richer or more powerful...

Chicago has some of the tightest gun control laws in the nation, but it doesn't slow it down at all.

Guns don't need to be controlled - the problem is the people holding them. Some are stupid. Some are crazy. Some think they are more important than anyone else. All of those need to be kept from guns. That is not gun control - that is people control.
I can get righteously angry when a drunk and half-dressed neighbor BANGS on my door after 10PM because "someone" or "something" is in the house - an effect of the nearly empty vodka bottle I find on her kitchen counter - and that interruption loses a chapter of the book I'm working on or perhaps loses enough storyline that the book dies, I DON'T shoot that person because I'm annoyed with and angry at them. That's people control, which is much more important than gun control. If you can't control yourself, you shouldn't have access to a weapon which extends your reach. There are no drive-by punchings - they might hurt their arm on a telephone pole...
An example of stupid: When someone holds a semi-automatic pistol WITH THEIR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER to remove the magazine and then sues the manufacturer when a child gets shot, you know the problem isn't the gun but the hand - and the owner of that hand should have been found guilty, not the maker of the gun. In my court, that person would have gotten ten lashes with a cat-of-9-tails - or ever how many lashes it took to get him to say "It was my fault".
Some of us old 4ts can be hard-a$$e$, can't we?

Denzel Washington was on Youtube and said it pretty well by saying the problems wasn't guns, but kids growing up without a father. He was running with some guys who were starting to get into some serious shit, but a friends dad helped him which is why he didn't go to jail while basically all his former friends did.

It's not gun control that's needed but people control - people controlling themselves.
I'm still a bit angry at the drunk and half-naked neighbor who interrupted my writing late one evening and I've never been able to pick up the thread of that story again - but I didn't shoot said neighbor then and I still have no plans to do so.

Remember, the media telling everyone dying of the virus, but nothing else? So these people didn't die from gunshot, knife, etc. wounds, but the virus.

These are recorded as Homicides not covid. King Pritzker gives a virus update ever day like his is bragging about it and using it to keep the lockdown going
