Four people were killed and 52 wounded during shootings across Chicago last weekend, bringing the 2015 total shootings for the city to over 2300. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is of course calling for more gun control. Chicago already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country — so much so that some have been found unconstitutional — yet has a higher crime rate than most other places, which have less gun control.
Meanwhile in London (where people can only own certain shotguns) this weekend, a man was shot dead on a busy street in the middle of the day, apparently not with a shotgun.
