The President said yesterday that cities in America that have the most gun laws have the least amount of gun violence. ............I guess he hasn't read the Chicago tribune or the Sun Times lately.

No, Tim, that's not what he said.

"We know that states with the most gun laws tend to have the fewest gun
deaths."

If you look at the statistics, the states with the most or most
restrictive gun laws tend to have fewer gun deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.

Your state, Illinois, has a death rate due to injuries from firearms of
8.6 per 100,000 inhabitants...or about the national average.

The rate in Alabama is 17.6, Alaska is 19.8, Arkansas 16.8, D.C. 8.9,
Connecticut 4.4, Louisiana 19.3, Maryland 9.7, Virginia 10.2, South
Carolina 15.2.

Perhaps you should listen more carefully when the president speaks, or
find a news source that is less tilted towards the NRA.

O'Bama didn't say that, you did.

Perhaps you should focus on the cities, where the problems really exist, and not lump
in all the farmers.

He really had his head up his ass with that one.

He didn't even look at statistics from his current 'home town'.
