    Another thing about the graph DMC linked. We start seeing a sharp decline in the "gun control era" from 1981 to 1986. What happened in 1986? St. Ronnie and Co. enacted a measure that would punish offenses for crack 100x worse than offenses for power cocaine. It should be obvious how a sentencing measure like this could increase inner city violence.

    You said "crime to rise" and the chart is murder rate. How was the crime rate during the same period?
    Murder rate is an integral part of crime rate, but since you asked...

    https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...me-in-the-u-s/

    First figure.

    What part of which gun laws caused the decline in murder rate? Let's be specific. Was it the high capacity magazine manufacturing ban, the "evil features" ban, the 1986 FOPA?
    I specifically mentioned the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, which was a subsection of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.

    AKA Slick Willy's Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which was allowed to sunset in September 2004.

    And BTW, I admit to having no evidence that directly relates the big drop in crime and that law, I'll be happy to leave that to somebody else that actually cares. I merely pointed out to mid that the match of the graph with the enactment of the law.

    Do Democrats "actually care" about all this crime in the big cities?

    A thread specifically about CHICAGO became a thread about National crime rate because Chris talked about Chicago being a poorly run Liberal stronghold.


    Yeah, that whole "no one ever wants to talk about Chicago thing" to a T.

    LOLST.

    You really expected us to have a serious discussion on Chicago on a troll forum because one of the biggest trolls here was trolling?

    Considering that crime has fell drastically since the mid-90s everywhere, I would say that's a yes.

    Well, it looks like Democrats stopped caring so much in the days since the last Republican Chicago mayor (1931).

    besides fake outrage, what are republicans doing to help the inner city of Chicago?

    Create economic opportunity. Cut out corruption. Etc.
    Or do you think that these es need an extra helping or two of coddling?
