Lets see, 8 in the first 8 days of this year already, if that continues they will have to figure out some way to fudge the numbers again or else we will end up with 365 deaths, Chicago had over 500 in 2012, so we aren't far behind, of course Chicago is a gun banned city too, just think if they were allowed to have those horrible gun thingies how many more there would be...(sarcasm) I don't understand why our mayor is disgusted, he has a round the clock armed guard to protect him....just like our president "Mr. sent Syria F18s, RPGs and Tanks, now give me your guns" and his kids who go to school with 11 armed Secret Service Agents, we who are in danger should be the ones who are disgusted and angry as hell to pay taxes and support the city with our money then have to live in a third world ghetto where either some gangster will drive by and shoot you or break into your home that is if someone making meth next door doesnt blow you and your family up.

And Chicago is 10 times bigger than Tulsa...a small town like Tulsa shouldn't have 10% of the murders we do...and our goofy mayor says the murder rate is down...we are on track for over 300 now

Why does it take people dying for something to be done for ANY bad situation?
