Highlights:
- There were 513 homicides in Chicago in 2012, almost 100 more than New York City's 414. This even though New York City has three times the population of Chicago.
- The number of people murdered in Chicago last year is 200 more than the number of U.S. military personnel killed in Afghanistan last year.
- During the first 16 day of the year, 26 people were killed by guns in Chicago - the exact same number of people killed in the Sandy Hook Shooting.
- By the time the year is out, the South and West sides of Chicago will have experienced the equivalent of 20 Sand Hook massacres.
- The vast, vast majority of these shootings were not committed by automatic weapons, weren't committed by the mentally ill, and would not have been stopped by Universal Background Checks.
One is left wondering if the reason Mr. Obama and the mainstream media are not discussing this is because it doesn't fit into their narrative about what the issue with guns really is.
