More: Life (and death) in a 'gun-free zone'
This was posted on 25 January by the crew at HeyJackass. It's not hard to imagine the frustration that the police in Chicago are experiencing when they have to go to work in this environment.
It was on this date four years ago that we launched an idea based on the “Chicago values” we were told so much about during that violent, Chick-fil-A chicken sammich-infused summer of 2012. Since we were never told exactly what those values were, we assumed that it must be murder, crime and mayhem.
Since then we’ve recorded over 2,200 homicides, nearly 11,000 shot and wounded, dozens and dozens of “death investigations” along with hundreds of people who caught one in the ass.
As always, thanks to everyone who has visited, emailed, followed, linked, liked and donated helping make this idea a very minor success.
Here’s to four more years.

This is exactly what you get when you combine a culture with a political regime that are each lacking in moral values. It's this kind of social climate that makes the (law-abiding) citizen's right to keep and bear arms invaluable.
