   Whenever racist right-wingnut knuckle-draggers say "Chicago," it's code for   
   "blacks."   
      
   Gun crime everywhere is an intractable problem, and nowhere more than Chicago.   
   Right-wingnuts are never proposing any solutions for Chicago's huge gun crime   
   problem.  All they're saying is "See?  Blacks are violent."   
      
   The right-wingnuts are lying when they say Democrats don't care about the gun   
   violence.  The problem is that there isn't a lot that local politicians can do   
   when guns from guns-"R"-us states like Indiana flow in a flood to Chicago.   
      
   Guns are part of the problem.  If guns were much less easily available, the   
   high-crime parts of Chicago would still see a lot of crime, including violent   
   crime, but the shootings and deaths would fall.  Readily available guns make it   
   *easier*, and thus cheaper, for violence-inclined people to commit violence.   
   Fewer guns = less violence.  This is basic econ 101.   
      
   More guns = more crime.
