Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI saw this yesterday listing the murder rate in US cities. I have been led to
believe by the media that Chicago must be the murder capital of the US but Chicago is actually
number 16 on the list. I mentioned this to a Republican today and he actually said the Republicans and
the NRA uses Chicago as an example because they vote Democrat and that is where Obama comes from.

(35,442 posts)they wouldn't go to Chicago because of the crime but they have no worries of going to Pittsburgh. In reality
Pittsburgh is number 21 only slightly safer than Chicago.
