Well it's a certain part of Texas where things are done differently where the shooting didn't occur correct? Otherwise it would be extremely dumb.

Only children, or just more children in one state overall, or when it only comes to school shootings? I've seen it pointed out a few times that Chicago has more gun deaths on most weekends than in this one situation, though many of those Chicago gun deaths definitely aren't children.

Just because the media talks about something a lot doesn't mean it's more of a problem. How many other developed nations who have such a racism problem have chosen a minority as their highest, utmost leadership, multiple times?

And just because there are bigger problems doesn't mean that the one at hand is insignificant or we shouldn't do anything about it.

Further, there are many things that Democrats would love to do to reduce crime in Chicago (including Federal gun control), but Republicans tend to be the ones standing in the way of most of those proposals. 

Yes that is true. Turning a blind eye isn't acceptable. Which solutions are acceptable looks to be the hold up though.

Doesn't Chicago have the most strict gun laws in the US? Like extremely strict compared to everywhere else? If that's not enough than what is? How can you have laws that strict and still have so many gun deaths?
