Yet even with Chicago's gang problems and associated gun violence, the state of Illinois still has far fewer gun deaths per capita than the Southern States with no gun control. Now, I know the response to that is probably along the lines that the rest of Illinois brings down the average, so I'll point to another example, the District of Columbia. D.C. is basically a city, that has been notorious for violence over the years, so if this argument held then their numbers should be higher than the Southern States, but yet again we see that they're not.
