How's that war against cops going for you Lightfoot? Hard to have strict gun control when you can't get the criminals to go along with it...right???

Fifty-five people were shot, five fatally, during the weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago.

Breitbart News reported over 40 people were shot Friday into Sunday morning alone in the Windy City. Five of those shooting victims succumbed to their wounds.
