For all the bitchin' and moanin' by the gunners about Chicago

and it's "failed" gun control it looks like things could be worse without the laws that restrict guns there,



These stats are based on pe rcapita data.

Louisiana, where you can almost get a gun from a vending machine, is far worse than Chicago.

Chart puts things in perspective. Wish there were a way it could be automatically posted as a response every time some gun fancier uses the Chicago argument to promote more guns in more places. Of course, most gunners don't care about the truth, just that they can buy a another gun when the urge hits them.
