   First of all, WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM?   
      
   Chicago is simply living up the Democrat obligation to making   
   the lives of blacks better, by killing them through abortion and   
   enabling them to kill each other.   
      
   It's Democrat population control and Chicago is simply doing   
   their share, people!   
      
   CHICAGO – President Donald Trump tweeted about his contempt for   
   the gun violence that has gripped Chicago after seven people   
   were fatally shot and 13 others were wounded on Wednesday.   
      
   “Seven people shot and killed yesterday in Chicago. What is   
   going on there — totally out of control. Chicago needs help!”   
   Trump wrote on Thursday.

   Trump vocal on Chicago violence   
      
   As President-elect, Trump encouraged Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel   
   to ask for federal assistance.   
      
   Emanuel said he “welcomed” the idea of greater federal   
   assistance to address crime in the city following Trump’s   
   comments.   
      
   Shortly after taking office in January, Trump tweeted about the   
   shootings in Chicago: “I will send in the Feds” if they don’t   
   fix the “horrible carnage” going on.

   If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228   
   shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will   
   send in the Feds!

   Emanuel said federal authorities already play an integral role   
   in fighting crime in the city, referencing the transport of guns   
   across state lines, among other areas.   
      
   “A lot of the guns, you know, coming into Chicago come from out   
   of state,” Emanuel said. “Federal entities are set up to deal   
   with that. And they do. And they work with us.”   
      
   Previously, Emanuel has specified areas he’d like the federal   
   government’s help — including gun control, gun tracking,   
   prosecution for gun crimes and help increase funding for more   
   police officers.   
      
   Though Chicago does have strict gun laws, 60% of the guns used   
   in shootings were purchased out of state.   
      
   Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner recently signed a new gun control law   
   that imposes harsher penalties on those who bring in guns from   
   out of state to sell and do not have gun-owner ID cards.   
      
   Last year, marked the deadliest year the city has seen in nearly   
   two decades with a reported 762 homicides.
