I would not put it past a thug wanting to sport a shooting scar to try and make him look "Bad". People have done stupider things in the past for perceived glory.
45+ people shot over Easter weekend? And yet it's not news worthy.
But what I just noticed recently was how the people were shot.
Have you noticed the pattern in your local town too?
Bullet placement seems to be belly and below. Rarely chest or above.
Also they apparently use FMJ rounds. If you watch the interviews they seem to be proud of their scars. As if they think they are supermen because the round(s) went clean through the leg.
Have they not heard of hollow points or worse?
Is it just a game they are playing? I shoot you, you shoot me. We both claim we won, we both walked away.
Childish games with the wrong kind of toys.

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
The 2nd amendment is not about hunting or shooting sports, it is about the citizens of this country having the means to protect themselves and the states from the tyranny, oppression, and misery of an over powering government. Modern rifles are a means for the citizens to stand up to an over powering government.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
It was on all the major websites. Yesterday. It's not really news. Just another weekend in Chicago.

I have noticed there have been lots of people shot in the leg here too. I just figured it was because they were drive by, bad shot, or the person subconsciously didn't really want to kill the other person. However, I doubt the last is likely. Gang wars have gotten out of hand here, punks miss and their bullets travel long distances killing unintended targets sometimes. Places you wouldn't go after dark before, you don't go at all now, you don't use the restaurant drive-thru unless you enjoy being a sitting duck. They've got gunshot detection systems that seems to have no deterrent effects, but that concept is a post for another day.
It saddens me because there were a lot of neat things in these parts of town, now people won't go there and it's all closing up and/or deteriorating. Then it's every one else's fault that those areas of town are being abandoned. Who wants to fund economic development in an area people won't go, and where your employees/customers get mugged, robbed, and shot just for kicks? It's quite an ugly dilemma that's been brewing for many years but much worse in the last decade. We've gone from one shooting a month to sometimes multiple daily.

Probably the result of jerking the trigger while holding the gun sideways. If someone would donate time to these individuals and teach them to shoot properly this problem might resolve itself in short order.
