CHICAGO -- An outraged Mayor Richard M. Daley on Wednesday unleashed a tirade about gun control, prompted by the 500 shootings of Chicago children so far this year.
"It's an outrage," Daley said. "Now remember, the national debate of politicians is all about Iraq, not about guns; not about violence in America. You're always overseas. Why don't we just get back and say, 'Well, why don't we just make this a better country, a safer country of 30,000 people?' Can you see 30,000 people getting killed in Iraq? And they want to impeach George Bush because of Iraq? How about looking at all your politicians who are not supporting common sense gun laws?"
Last month the city reported the shocking statistic that an average of one Chicago public school student is murdered every 10 days, usually with a gun.
