Congratulations Chicago. How can you be DOWN almost 1000 shootings and still have much further to fall.

This is my first post woo hoo.

He attributes the success to the pressure the department's putting on gangs -- and a little bit of luck.
Sounds like normal distribution to me. Up above the mean one day, below the mean on another.

I find it almost insulting that such a story, or at least the first couple of paragraphs deserved ink or bits.

Last year, Chicago had 600 killings and just over three-thousand aggravated batteries by firearm.

Cline says the city's down 112 homicides and almost one-thousand shootings compared with last year.
Assuming Cline means 488 homicides so far this year, and 599 last year (that's what various newspapers reported on january 1st)...

31 (dec) + 30 (nov) + 27 (oct, 5th through 31st) = 88
488 * 366/278 = 642 homicides this year, if they continue at the same rate.

Looks like Chicago's doing worse this year. Must be due to "pressure the department's putting on" guns "-- and a little bit of luck."
 
The problem is, gun control DOES WORK. Just ask Hitler!!

If you don't mind living in a 100% totalitarian state, then the state will guarantee your safety.. The price you pay is 100% of your freedom. If you find that to be a cheap payment, then sure...
