Wow higher than Sao Paulo and Mexico City is somewhat of a surprise
...what are Chicago's gun laws?
The Deadliest Global City
Out- ing-standing, Chicago! Must be the Mayor's values.Chicago likes to compare itself to other world cities, so Ward Room thought it would find out how we rank in violence. It turns out no one can top us. Among what are considered Alpha world cities, Chicago has the highest murder rate -- higher even than the Third World metropolises of Mexico City and Sao Paolo. Here’s how we rank in murders per 100,000 among cities we consider our peers, based on a projected murder total of 505 for this year.
Singapore 0.4
Tokyo 0.5
Hong Kong 0.6
Berlin 1.0
Sydney 1.0
London 1.4
Toronto 1.7
Amsterdam 1.8
Paris 4.4
New York 6.0
Los Angeles 7.5
Mexico City 8.0
Moscow 9.6
Sao Paolo 15.6
Chicago 19.4

But wait! There's more about Chicago's value system...

Chicago Democrats and The Chicago Mob
Obama's key fundraiser Tony Rezko goes on trial Monday.It's important to take a broader look at America's most corrupt large city: Chicago.(We apologize from the outset,some links no longer exist or passages we quote never existed on the web.)Chicago has had a Democratic Mayor since 1931,and today in 2008,49 of 50 Chicago Aldermen are Democrats.This long post is about the Chicago Mob and the Democratic Party machine.
Former Alderman Simpson, who's now a professor at University of Illinois-Chicago, has some disturbing numbers on Chicago and Illinois politicians:Since 1973, the U.S. attorney has indicted 30 aldermen and convicted 27 (one died before trial and two stand trial this spring).The Public Corruption and Accountability Project at UIC calculates that there have been more than 1,000 local and state governmental officials convicted since the 1970s. The "corruption tax," or cost of government corruption for Cook County residents, is now more than $300 million a year, greater than the local government tax increases this year. We can't really afford more local "Hired Truck" schemes, patronage hiring, or the state pension and driver license scandals of recent years.
And both of those cities also have very restrictive gun laws, no?
Don't know, don't care
Well, they do. And, while you may not care, it certainly speaks to the effect of gun control laws on violent crime.
Perhaps, just perhaps, there's something else at work in those places that enjoy a lower crime rate with more restrictive gun laws. For instance, in Australia, you have fewer gun-related crimes but, your violent crime rate is 4 times ours.
lol venturing sociological generalizations on the strength of cherry picked statistical correlations
What a wild coincidence!
Where is that black man in the WHITEmans's House from?

Tame crap compared to the nasty coming from Karl Rove's $100Ms.
Chicago gun control correlates with high murder rate (not gun murder rate).
Ergo, gun control CAUSES high (gun?) murder rate.
Brother, people pulled this sort of stunt on Bush all the time. The code pink ladies went quiet almost 4 years ago. I actually thought they were against wars. It was money, brother. They have a political agenda. Let's pray that the USA will stop all the killings. God blessBillboard Compares Obama To Aurora Shooter

Tame crap compared to the nasty coming from Karl Rove's $100Ms.
A couple of quick questions to which I truly don't know the answer:
1) Is Karl Rove connected to the Ralph Smeed Foundation?
2) Is Karl Rove worth hundreds of millions of dollars?
3) Doesn't President Obama personally sit down every week and decide who lives and who dies on his terrorist hit list? (Okay, I know the answer to this one.)
I do continue to wonder of the Nobel Prize Committee is kicking themselves for their idiocy.
Eh, people don't know exactly how peace prizes recipients are chosen.
But lol @ defensive board Republicans.
You would think warmongers/murderers like Obama wouldn't win a peace prize. God bless
Whom did Obama murder, jack?
Ron bless.
Lots of people. God bless
Who?
Ron bless.
I'm the last person who will play this silly game of yours. God bless
I agree you're the last person who will answer a direct question.
Ron bless.
You're right. And, it obvious it's not for the recipients ability to achieve peace anywhere in the world.
Potential ability, for the most part. It's largely a wishful thinking award.
eet moor chiken!
Interesting to hear Justice Scalia of all people is open to the proposition of gun control. He's the most conservative of the justices' which makes that really surprising to here, funny how that nut job is open to gun control but the idiots in Congress are not?
Scalia is a fascist so him wanting gun control isn't much of a surprise tbh
Who bought him off?
