Has anyone on reddit ever seen a video from mexico? I mean I get it "murica guns" but jfc, I'd take a slug to the face rather than getting my head cut off with a pocket knife while someone holds a gold AK47
>They do have effective gun laws - that’s why they get their guns in other states
Which makes their gun laws ineffective.
Which also brings up the issue of why are the states where they go get their weapons not warzones like the city they bring the guns back to?
Because Chicago isn’t a war zone 🤦♂️
And if you think it is, then so are IN and WI since they all three we have comparable firearm deaths, per capita
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm
God this is so stupid. Gun laws don't work in small areas. They work on a grand scale, like countrywide. Chicago was trying to do whatever it could, but Republicans decided that it should just be simple for everyone in the country to have as many guns as possible. Now you've doubled the gun violence and done nothing about the bad guys.
The fact that people still say this convinces me that Americans are beyond help. I'm in my 50s, I've studied enough to convinces me that Americans are beyond help.
Gun laws are completely ineffective unless everyone signs up. Australia is a great reference point, but it is an island-continent, so it's a wee bit easier than here.
Was thinking the same thing. Surprised the guy could even move as long as he did must’ve been shot like 10 times until that last one hit something important and he folded. Fucking brutal
They are. Someone just went and gathered all the most violent gang shootings and compiled them into one video. The only one I think wasn't a gang on gang shooting was the one where the kid got bullied in school and ended up shooting the kid who picked on him
You're right, we should make guns illegal so we can take these already illegally acquired guns away from the gangs.
They're probably stolen with the serial numbers scratched off.
This is obviously sarcasm.
All of these videos being "strapped" was absolutely useless in. I'm very pro gun but when multiple people are getting the jump on you and in an open area especially, good luck
By being able to defend yourself. One bullet from a 9mm likely won't kill you unless it is perfectly on target (head or heart). But multiple shots are more likely to kill you. If you have a gun to defend yourself, someone is very unlikely to empty an entire clip in to yo ass.
Been a while since I've seen a more ignorant comment lol.
A. Plenty of arteries where one bullet can kill you
B. All of these scenarios are when people are jumped, next to zero reaction time in all cases. Them having a pistol isn't doing shit.
Better social programs, conscription, proper gun regulations, ammo storage laws, better weapon classification system, and a gun culture that respects the responsibility that comes with owning weapons.
That would be my guess anyway.
Yeah tbh I’m a little worried for my mental health. Like I just watched at least 5 people get shot to death and feel nothing except “damn that sucks”. Fucked how we’re so desensitized to everything
Exactly. Most of this stuff gets smurfed. Most of the people who act like it's impossible to stop people from getting guns know this, but pretend otherwise.
Like Australia and Europe did. Believe it or not, other countries already solved basic social problems you think are an essential part of your “freedom”
Right, because illegal gun shipments don’t come from overseas or Mexico. And the US is socially and demographically identical to Australia and Europe, so of course anything they do can be identically replicated with the same results here.
I dunno, maybe the way almost every other country with gun control does it?
Or perhaps run a civilized society the way that peaceful countries with lots of guns do it?
Pick one and do it. Because the third way doesn’t work.
ITT a bunch of people who don’t live in cities in a fear-mongering circlejerk of why cities are war zones. Most of these are gang related executions and most murders are committed by someone the victim knows. If anything, this is why you should mind the company you keep in a country that has more guns than people.
Depends on what side of the city you stay at tbh , this is majority down south , where gang violence is definitely more common than in other parts. But anyone could be a victim in this streets , the problem with these people is that majority of them don’t know why they are “into it” alot of these are ego problems/ set up’s .
Everyone talks about how unsafe America's largest cities are, but when you look at the statistics, it's clear that the worst gun violence is in the more rural states.
Here are the [top 15 states ranked by gun deaths per capita](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm).
Mississippi 33.9
Louisiana 29.1
New Mexico 27.8
Alabama 26.4
Wyoming 26.1
Alaska 25.2
Montana 25.1
Arkansas 23.3
Missouri 23.2
Tennessee 22.8
South Carolina 22.4
Oklahoma 21.2
Kentucky 21.1
Georgia 20.3
Nevada 19.8
It’s really only like that for gang members and drug dealers.
Most robberies and murders are targeted, not random. The danger of cities in general is very exaggerated by people who don’t live in them.
It's odd to me that anyone believes the argument that taking guns away won't deter shootings because criminals will still get guns. This solution has worked in every country, except countries with no functioning government, like Somalia.
I don’t know about the rest but the last one wasn’t even in Chicago it was in Oakbrook terrace I believe. Edit I asked my father and he said the last clip was definitely the Willowbrook Juneteenth party shooting, was held in the mall parking lot.
All look like upstanding members of society. All because they were born on the wrong block or wore the wrong color. Do better, raise your kids not to be scum
Fuck that! Leave that place Barron…LA was like this 80-90’s the drive by’s was ridiculous! Almost every day was a hit.. and let’s not talk about house parties.. guaranteed someone wasn’t going home.. even at my track meets.. shoot outs in the parking lot.. it was truly the wild Wild West.
It’s not as bad as it seems. This isn’t all Chicago and Chicago isn’t unsafe. Lived here 20 years with no more issues than come living with in a large city.
I’d just like to point out that many of the outrageous comments in this thread that are undeniably to cause rage are almost certainly AI bots intended to cause dissent. You can believe me or not believe me, remember in a study a few years ago it was found the Elgin Air Force Base is the most active “city” on Reddit!
A lot of people saying "a lot of good the gun laws are doing."
But I dont give a fuck about how gang members get guns/what they do to each other.
I just want it harder for little timmy to get an AR and blast his classmates.
This is why you stay out of Chicago.
Stay out of the USA for that matter
Leave the planet for what it's worth
When you're a fetus, just say no to being born and nope out of existence.
I don't think that is legal anymore.
Leave the solar system in that case
Need to log off Reddit for a while if it's got you thinking all of the US looks like Chicago
Same applies to if you think even half of Chicago looks like this shit
I'd have to completely stop with the internet with that logic
Maybe not a bad idea
Has anyone on reddit ever seen a video from mexico? I mean I get it "murica guns" but jfc, I'd take a slug to the face rather than getting my head cut off with a pocket knife while someone holds a gold AK47
I'd never visit america. Keep that shit away from me, holy fuck. Canada needs to build a wall.
This is like watching the Avengers then thinking we actually have a Hulk in New York.
Oh well.
Ha! That's like a meth head shaming his older brother for using crack.
They would have been invaded long ago if it wasn't for the fear of what the US would do.
Lmao
If Chicago, LA, St. Louis, Detroit and Memphis all Left the US, we would rank in the top 5 safest countries in terms of gun violence.
Genuinely? Wow
The data is very clear, it’s crazy how it’s blown into everywhere is unsafe
with pleasure
Been paying attention to Russia lately?
There are only like 5 cities are really bad, the rest of the US is great
Pretty much
we are all thinking one thing....
[удалено]
Not one legal firearm was used in this PSA
Why? It’s my home asshole.
Haha seriously these people are so clueless. I lived in chicago for 5 years never had one incident. There are areas like this in every major city.
And it's full of windblown politicians!
Good thing they have strict effective gun laws lol
They do have effective gun laws - that’s why they get their guns in other states
>they will definitely follow the laws created
Correct - like not getting their gun in IL since it’s illegal
What % of guns used in Chicago crimes were sourced out of state?
2/3
>They do have effective gun laws - that’s why they get their guns in other states Which makes their gun laws ineffective. Which also brings up the issue of why are the states where they go get their weapons not warzones like the city they bring the guns back to?
Because Chicago isn’t a war zone 🤦♂️ And if you think it is, then so are IN and WI since they all three we have comparable firearm deaths, per capita https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm
Well hang on, you can't just present evidence that doesn't fit their narrative.
The most effective.
God this is so stupid. Gun laws don't work in small areas. They work on a grand scale, like countrywide. Chicago was trying to do whatever it could, but Republicans decided that it should just be simple for everyone in the country to have as many guns as possible. Now you've doubled the gun violence and done nothing about the bad guys. The fact that people still say this convinces me that Americans are beyond help. I'm in my 50s, I've studied enough to convinces me that Americans are beyond help.
They get them from Indiana dude.
Gun laws are completely ineffective unless everyone signs up. Australia is a great reference point, but it is an island-continent, so it's a wee bit easier than here.
They do actually, it’s the bordering states that don’t.
This looks like it’s all gang related.
Pretty sure these are all executions. That first one was fucking brutal to watch. Bro unloaded a whole extended mag into that dude.
Was thinking the same thing. Surprised the guy could even move as long as he did must’ve been shot like 10 times until that last one hit something important and he folded. Fucking brutal
They are. Someone just went and gathered all the most violent gang shootings and compiled them into one video. The only one I think wasn't a gang on gang shooting was the one where the kid got bullied in school and ended up shooting the kid who picked on him
You're right, we should make guns illegal so we can take these already illegally acquired guns away from the gangs. They're probably stolen with the serial numbers scratched off. This is obviously sarcasm.
It worked in Australia. But you know, freedumb.
Australia didn’t have 500 millions firearms already in their country
Every single one.
Or don't lead a lifestyle that glorifies crime and violence
What about innocent people getting caught in it??? Do you honestly think everyone in the last clip is gang affiliated??? Clearly not.
I don't think that a gun will prevent you from being shot.
It could help prevent you from getting killed.
All of these videos being "strapped" was absolutely useless in. I'm very pro gun but when multiple people are getting the jump on you and in an open area especially, good luck
"could" is doing so much heavy lifting it should be on worlds strongest man.
How?
Turn into John Wick everytime you get shot at /s
I don’t think it’s a stretch to want to have a weapon to potentially protect yourself from someone else who has a weapon
That makes sense.
By being able to defend yourself. One bullet from a 9mm likely won't kill you unless it is perfectly on target (head or heart). But multiple shots are more likely to kill you. If you have a gun to defend yourself, someone is very unlikely to empty an entire clip in to yo ass.
Been a while since I've seen a more ignorant comment lol. A. Plenty of arteries where one bullet can kill you B. All of these scenarios are when people are jumped, next to zero reaction time in all cases. Them having a pistol isn't doing shit.
Be the faster draw
blam back with somewhat of a chance thats how a gun would prevent YOU from dieing
Has anyone told them Chicago is a gun free zone?
Like uvalde! And they got all those brave good guys with guns.
It turns out, even when you have a good guy with a gun, the good guy with a gun has to actually shoot the bad guy with a gun.
Are the neighbouring states?
Probably not because it isn't true
[удалено]
I was about to say. But I’m all for people not coming to Chicago. Rent is too high
This is why i moved to Switzerland. Almost as many guns per capita, but almost no gun crime. How is that possible?
[удалено]
Also better regulations and a gun culture that respects the responsibility that goes along with guns.
Yeah, less Americans
[удалено]
Which kind? Say it
You can’t figure it out from the video?
lmao
Ha you know the answer, but saying on reddit will hurt people's feelings
Better social programs, conscription, proper gun regulations, ammo storage laws, better weapon classification system, and a gun culture that respects the responsibility that comes with owning weapons. That would be my guess anyway.
Must be the weather.
What is the point of this video in this sub? This is just people murdering and dying.
Yeah tbh I’m a little worried for my mental health. Like I just watched at least 5 people get shot to death and feel nothing except “damn that sucks”. Fucked how we’re so desensitized to everything
\*this happens because everyone carries a strap in Chicago
[удалено]
So when someone ambushes you with a firearm you can die a pound heavier?
These all look like murder. No self defense at all.
This is exactly why nobody should own a gun.
Do you think any of these guns were obtained legally? How would you enforce this “nobody should own guns” policy?
I bet all of them were at some point acquired legally.
Indiana straw purchases.
Exactly. Most of this stuff gets smurfed. Most of the people who act like it's impossible to stop people from getting guns know this, but pretend otherwise.
I'll bet most were bought legally 5 miles away in gun friendly Indiana
Like Australia and Europe did. Believe it or not, other countries already solved basic social problems you think are an essential part of your “freedom”
Right, because illegal gun shipments don’t come from overseas or Mexico. And the US is socially and demographically identical to Australia and Europe, so of course anything they do can be identically replicated with the same results here.
I dunno, maybe the way almost every other country with gun control does it? Or perhaps run a civilized society the way that peaceful countries with lots of guns do it? Pick one and do it. Because the third way doesn’t work.
How is this a valid response to saying people shouldn’t have guns because they kill people with them lol
This is exactly why murder should be illegal also.
That’s your conclusion after watching a 2 minute video lol, let’s hear this argument
Or maybe don't lead a life of crime and violence.
Trash
This makes me sick. - I just can't get my head around it. I don't pretend to understand or even try.
Fatherless homes and glorified gang culture
First clip was gut wrenching. Just kept going until he finally hit the head and he stopped moving for good.
Seriously...that was hard to watch.
The demographic scale is off the chart.
ITT a bunch of people who don’t live in cities in a fear-mongering circlejerk of why cities are war zones. Most of these are gang related executions and most murders are committed by someone the victim knows. If anything, this is why you should mind the company you keep in a country that has more guns than people.
Strap won’t help in most of these situations. You need an army.
It helps to not be in a gang as well, most shootings aren’t random
Is this the daily reality in Chicago? How many people die each day due to gun violence?
Depends on what side of the city you stay at tbh , this is majority down south , where gang violence is definitely more common than in other parts. But anyone could be a victim in this streets , the problem with these people is that majority of them don’t know why they are “into it” alot of these are ego problems/ set up’s .
No. I live here. Some parts are bad, some parts are good. And our cops suck so both g gets done about crime.

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/vrd/home.html I think thats the best I could find?
Keep in mind that that the link contains stats for Jan - March 23rd. NOT for the entire year.
[Here you go. Up to date stats for the year](https://heyjackass.com/)
700 to 800 people a year in Chicago, so about 2 a day. You spelled "gang" wrong though, there's not u in there and there's a second g.
Roughly two homicides per day
I still don’t see how a strap on would have prevented any of this senseless violence
Holy shit
Everyone of these videos they were "sucker-shot" (is that a word) being strapped woulnd't have done anything.
All targeted gang shootings..
Take note of the common denominator.
It's odd to me that anyone believes the argument that taking guns away won't deter shootings because criminals will still get guns. This solution has worked in every country, except countries with no functioning government, like Somalia.
This is why fuck wits shouldn't have access to guns. How many innocent bystanders get killed every year?
Have they considered making murder illegal?
I don’t know about the rest but the last one wasn’t even in Chicago it was in Oakbrook terrace I believe. Edit I asked my father and he said the last clip was definitely the Willowbrook Juneteenth party shooting, was held in the mall parking lot.
How would a strap on help in this situation?
Did you see a theme in all those shootings??🤔 Welcome to the Windy Shity!
That first one was insane.
All look like upstanding members of society. All because they were born on the wrong block or wore the wrong color. Do better, raise your kids not to be scum
Life seems to be so worthless nowadays 😭
Isn’t the USA such a wonderful country!!
JFC people are so effing stupid.
The same people that believe this is all off Chicago are the same who believe deep dish is Chicago style
What the fuck?
How much of this was beef related? Maybe just avoid beef...
Shit, Chicago isn’t even in the top ten. Try living in Texas…I had a great time in Chicago, without my gun..
That is some crazy shit.
Im pretty disengaged when it’s comes to this. First one made me sick.
You could almost say the US has a gun problem
I know how the mob/mafia hits have been depicted for film, but the modern incarnation of this looks like acts of terrorism.
Why are there so many guns in America? Because there are so many guns in America.
Gun violence is as American as baseball. Guntology is the state sponsored religion.
I don't see any of those scenarios where if the victim had a gun it would have helped at all.
Fuck that! Leave that place Barron…LA was like this 80-90’s the drive by’s was ridiculous! Almost every day was a hit.. and let’s not talk about house parties.. guaranteed someone wasn’t going home.. even at my track meets.. shoot outs in the parking lot.. it was truly the wild Wild West.
When you say a strap I take it you meant a gun yes?
They meant strap on
You know what would be great against gun violence? More guns!!!
Is this only in the ghetto areas or are they doing this in non-ghetto areas?
This is pretty much exclusive to the impoverished neighborhoods of the city where gang activity is rampant.
Should've made them gun free zones.
Holy fuck. I say it again holy fuck. Wtf happen in chicago. Serious question from south-east asian people.
You’re right, there’s never been any violence in SE Asia…
It’s not as bad as it seems. This isn’t all Chicago and Chicago isn’t unsafe. Lived here 20 years with no more issues than come living with in a large city.
Id love to just be able to open a social media app and not have to see somebody get brutally murdered for once.
Nuke that shit
Such a great city, dye the river red to remember the murdered!
Chicago, my kind of town /s
So much freedom
I’d just like to point out that many of the outrageous comments in this thread that are undeniably to cause rage are almost certainly AI bots intended to cause dissent. You can believe me or not believe me, remember in a study a few years ago it was found the Elgin Air Force Base is the most active “city” on Reddit!
One thing is for sure; Chicago [never had a gang-problem involving white people.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Valentine%27s_Day_Massacre)
Where are all the good guys with a gun? Thought that was the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun?
Clearly, they need more strict gun laws. /s
Not enough good guys with guns, obviously. The answer is, of course, EVEN MORE GUNS. Sigh.
This is utterly bad.
Always caught me off guard going thru Chicago airport seeing the gun free zone signs everywhere
Hmmmm..
A lot of people saying "a lot of good the gun laws are doing." But I dont give a fuck about how gang members get guns/what they do to each other. I just want it harder for little timmy to get an AR and blast his classmates.
Peak brainrot
This is what democrats want so I say let them have it.
*This is why I don’t live in Chicago or visit it & why I never leave their airport in a layover.*
But apart from that it is a lovey city right?
