Well, it looks like Chicago's draconian gun laws worked well over the 4th of July weekend...

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Govern...-67-Shot-11-Killed-over-July-4-Weekend-So-Far

There were 67 people shot and 11 killed over the long Independence Day weekend in Chicago. Of the 67, eight were shot, with one killed, in a single Saturday evening attack in the West Side neighborhood of Lawndale.

The Chicago Tribune lists the details of the some of the gruesome shootings:
At Stroger [Cook County Hospital] were: a woman, 72, with a wound to an ankle; a woman, 41, with a wound to her right thigh; a man, 43, with gunshot wounds to the leg and back; a man, 45, shot in the penis and right thigh; and a man, 48, shot in the leg and buttocks. At Mount Sinai were: a man, 31, shot in the wrist, and a woman, 20, shot in the right leg. Police described all the victims as having had their conditions stabilized.
Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy issued a press release in June boasting of the more than 2900 firearm seizures the department had made in 2013:

Hmmmm...2,900 guns seized in 2013 so far...don't these people know that it is against the law to own illegal guns in the city of Chicago...do we have to make another law to reemphasize that point...?
