demand Obama explain his statement “what works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne” when Chicago which bans guns has a homicide rate of over 15/100k but Cheyenne where guns are not banned has a much lower homicide rate about 3.5/100k.

Obama wants to move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and D.C. which banned guns in 2006 has a homicide rate of 29.1/100k and Obama better be prepared to clearly state whether he supports law-abiding citizens owning handguns in large cities like Chicago and D.C.

NOTE: national homicide rate was about 6/100k in 2006.
