Even if you add up all the crime in Chicago in a year you only get 0.54% of the population.

However, the point I was making was to turn around those percentages thrown at us by the gun brigade back in their faces....99.89% of the Chicago population did not suffer from violent crime.

Do you really think that if you removed all the people from the US who have committed a crime, or look like they might, then crime would suddenly stop?
