BeetleJuice Blames Freedom For Chicago's Skyrocketing Murder Rate "The fact of the matter is our gun problem is related to the fact that we have too many illegal guns on our street," Lightfoot said, adding, "We are being inundated with guns from states that have virtually no gun control, no background checks, no ban on assault weapons. That is hurting cities like Chicago." So the places that have more weapons per capita than chicongo does and, by far and away, fewer murders than chiraq, is causing chiraqians to blast away at each other.  According to Electro-Coon, anyway. Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, I was thinking that maybe it's because the other places have a STRONG AND WELL FUNDED POLICE FORCE. And their local leaders aren't whackjobs like in Chicaglow, for instance.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/chicago-mayor-says-she-wont-allow-federal-agents-to-come-play-police-in-her-city-amid-violence
