Apparently all those guns we're shipping to Mexico is having an effect on US criminals as the numbers and rates of violent crimes/murders/ and most other crime designations have dropped again for the second year. That gives us lower rates than we've seen in over 30 years.
Since Illinois remains in non-compliance w/ the FBI on crime reporting, the only comparable stat. is murder.
Nationally, the murder numbers/rate dropped from 16928/5.6 to 16272/5.4 from '07 to '08.
Illinois INCREASED from 752/5.9 to 790/6.1 . All due to the Brady Paradise of Chicago.
Chicago increased from 445/15.7 to 510 murders w/ a rate of 18/100k.
Dumping Chicago, Illinois would have seen a drop from 307/3.04 to 280 murders w/ a rate of 2.77.
Thanks Chicago. We're so glad to have you with us.

Inquiring minds do ask why is it that Illinois STILL refuses to remain non compliant with the FBI's data gathering system. Its not like the FBI is going to fold up and drop off the face of the earth next month. Reasonable minds would figure that perhaps its time to get with the nations top crime fighting organization and get some solid data gathered. But forget it Jake its Chicago err... Illinois....
