I knew they could do it!! Rahm must be proud!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.
Bloody Christmas weekend: More than 40 shot, 11 killed in Chicago
If only they had stricter gun laws

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.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!

The only numbers I care about from Chicago are 25, or 6 to 4.
Beyond that, they can keep it.
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.Ummm no, how many people are in Chicago? Millions.

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?

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.

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.
