Is it really so bad that these people are killing each other off? Obviously the justice industry won't deal with them.

So for a recap, drugs/drug trafficking(illegal), gun possession (illegal), murder (illegal), gun trafficking(illegal) shooting on city streets(illegal), yet lax gun laws in other parts of the US are the problem with Chicago. That takes a leap of logic that I can't make.
Look to where the guns come from that do the killing. There are plenty of studies then you just have a bit more info to go on.

You do hit on one valid point. If you added up all the murders the percentage of law abiding folks being killed by bad Guys versus bad guys killing each other is rarely discussed. I would love that info compared by country.
