Rahm Emanuel’s gang violence problem leaves dozens dead from baseball bats

By Michael Thompson

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn., President Barack Obama has renewed a charge to enact sweeping gun control legislation and Vice President Joe Biden has said using an executive order would be an appropriate way to address the issue. 

And Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., plans to introduce a bill in Congress “to stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeding devices.”

It’s her direct response to the claim an AR-15 semi-automatic weapon was used in the school shooting in Newtown.

But lost in the debate on gun control is the situation in Chicago, Ill., run by Obama’s friend Rahm Emanuel, where gang violence primarily in the black and Hispanic communities led to the murders of 506 in 2012.

In a city with some of the toughest gun control laws in America, Fox News reported that Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy “acknowledged aiming at assault weapons misses the mark when dealing with Chicago’s gang violence. The weapon used is generally a handgun and rarely is it purchased through legal channels.”
