Chicago is no longer in the top 10 for city gun violence
1 in 20 murders in the US happen in Chicago. It is still very much one of the worst gun violence cities. There just happen to be some cities worse than them..
I mean, 26 people shot and 9 dead in the last 3 days.. 144 shot, 29 dead in 2 weeks. You can't just blow it off because it's not the worst anymore..
Yeah, the real violence is in places like Missouri and Alabama.
Alabama has an interesting gun morality rate. link
The entire state of Missouri, population of 6.2 million, has 564 gun homicides so far this year. Chicago alone, population 2.7 million, has 585. So almost 3x the gun homicide rate as Missouri. Alabama population 5 million, has 548 gun homicides. So Chicago is still 2x the gun homicide rate as the state of Alabama.
