Gun
Deaths: Is this Chicago or Cairo?
by Common Constitutionalist
July 9, 2013
Despite
being seemingly bumped from the front
pages, gun control is alive and well. Gabrielle Giffords and her
husband showed
up in New Hampshire last week to promote their anti-gun agenda. It
appears as
if Mayor Bloomberg is fronting the money for this nationwide tour. Big
shocker.
Since
the Newtown shooting, it seems there
haven’t been any mass murders. "Gun violence" in America seems to
have temporarily subsided. We haven't heard of any shootings in months.
Could
that really be or is it just not being
reported? Well, you'd be smart to choose the latter.
There
is in fact gun violence, and it's
happening in a most unexpected place, Chicago, Obama's hometown.
Correction: to
anyone who pays attention, it is completely expected.
I
hope everyone had a nice relaxing
Independence Day weekend — parades, picnics, family gatherings.
You
may have done those things, but the people
of Chicago spent their long weekend dodging bullets. Of course
watching,
listening to, or reading any national media, one would never know.
In
Chicago, over the 4th of July weekend, a
mere 74 people were shot and 12 were killed. That's from Wednesday
night to
Sunday night!
This
happens month after month, year after year
in a city with possibly the strictest gun control in the country. The
totals
for 2013, and we're only halfway, are 870 shot and wounded, 180 shot
and
killed, and 211 total homicides (knives, clubs, fists, etc.).
So
why is this not front page material, above
the fold, in the New York Times? Why did I not see the weekend’s
carnage when I
opened my Internet browser? Could it be the mainstream press really
does have
an agenda? Could be.
Who
is the mayor of Chicago? Oh that's right,
it's Rahm Emanuel, friend of both the Clinton's and Obama.
The
media wouldn’t actually try to paper over
the 1037 murders that have occurred since 2011 when Rahm took office
would
they? I'm sure that's the farthest thing from the truth.
So
let's check the Internet. Pick a search
engine. I tried both Google and Bing. There were many reports of the
weekend
violence, but all were from conservative or local/regional sites.
Nothing from
the Times online, MSNBC, Washington Post, et al...
