Chicago has very strong gun laws, so only the criminals and fortuneately the police have guns.  This is a beautiful city, but there are neighborhoods where innocent people and gang members are murdered almost every night.  

To top off the greatness of Chicago, the teacher are on strike.

The democrats have certainly done a great job governing Chicago.  The corruption has helped certain portions of the populous but others live in fear.
