Well if this past weekend is any indication they'll make that number no problem. More than 40 shot, 11 dead over this past holiday weekend.

If only they had stricter gun laws
These numbers are just sad.
I think that if the American Peoples' eyes were to really open, they would be very surprised at some of the truths and facts.

Thanks LBJ and the rest of you progs:
7. According to Mac Donald, "A straight line can be drawn between family breakdown and youth violence."
As economist Thomas Sowell points out, before the 1960s "most black children were raised in two-parent families." In 2013, over 72 percent of blacks were born out of wedlock. In Cook County –which Chicago belongs to – 79 percent of blacks were born to single mothers in 2003, while only 15 percent of whites were born to single mothers.
"Until that gap closes, the crime gap won't close, either," writes Mac Donald.

Chicago's tally for 2016 ~~~~ 795 murdered.....5 short of the 800 goal, HOWEVER, this number could be revised as some of those shot, may die over the next few days.
4378 people shot in 2016. You're safer in Afghanistan.... a person is shot every 2 hours and person is murdered every 11 hours in chicago
HeyJackass!

Well, as of right now, the City of Buffalo has Chiraq's 2016 rate of 2 murders / day beat! There have been 4 separate shootings with 3 dead and one critical... That puts Buffalo 50% ahead of Chiraq's daily murder rate so far in 2017!
Nothing like those inner city thugs shooting it out with each other!

Ummm no, how many people are in Chicago? Millions. How many troops do we have in Afghanistan? 9800. As of October 2016 there were 6 service members killed and 2 DOD civilians killed. Casualties in Afghanistan 8/9800 is a much higher rate than the casualties in Chicago 795/millions.

Add in the Afghan population, and Chicago "wins" easily. Not to be a dick about this, but it really pisses me off when some bombing or attack occurs somewhere, and all the friggin' talking heads talk about is the one or two American casualties. The ONLY reason Chicago hits the news is because it can be tailored to advance the anti gun narrative.
The latest estimate for the population of Chicago comes from the US Census Bureau. They confirmed that, in July 2011, there were 2,707,120 people living in the city of Chicago. The 2016 population has been estimated to be approximately 2,720,546, with slow growth and declines attributed to violence, tax increases and issues with schools.
http://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/chicago-population/
795/2720546 = 0.029% deaths per capita in Chicago
The United Nations said in its annual report released on Sunday that there were 3,545 civilian deaths and 7,457 people wounded with children paying a particularly heavy toll, as Afghan security forces faced a surge in attacks by the Taliban and other armed groups.
Afghan civilian casualties hit a record 11,000 in 2015
The history of Afghanistan’s population has been accompanied by aborted Censuses as a backdrop to war and as such, any attempt to gauge the population of Afghanistan in 2015 is currently based on estimates. However, it is estimated that Afghanistan has recently surpassed 32 million residents.
http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/afghanistan-population/
3545/32000000 = 0.011% deaths per capita in Afghanistan
American casualties are all I care about and the only ones that can be reliably tracked. Your citation only accounts for civilian casualties from war there are no crime statistics included, are we to assume in a population of 32 million there is no murder? Sorry I don't buy any of it.
