If you want to argue facts you should get accurate ones. The statistics cited were for Chicago proper, not metro. So the correct population figure to use instead of your 10 million is less than 3 million, still a hell of a lot more than the 145,000+ U.S. military in Iraq, which by the way is substantially higher than your figure of 50,000.
The comparison was merely meant to get your attention. If we want to linger on the murder rate comparisons it would be more appropriate to compare using the total population of Iraq (27 million) to Chicago proper (3 million), and not restrict the Iraq number of killed to U.S. soldiers but to include the deaths in the general population (does anyone really know what that is? It’s got to still be very high).
So yes, any way you look at it, Iraq is a more dangerous place than Chicago (unless you’re a gang banger maybe)
The point I was making is this. Look how high the gun deaths are in Chicago, even though it’s a GUN FREE ZONE, courtesy of all those Democrats. Turned fully loose, the Democrats will put into place more and more restrictions on innocent people that result in almost no benefit or in some cases result in negative benefit due to unintended consequences. I don’t believe BHO for a moment when he claims to respect the Second Amendment.
Chicago, a gun free zone, governed totally by DEMOCRATS since. . . FOREVER.
Chicago, Illinois, represented by TWO DEMOCRAT Senators (Zero Republicans).
Chicago, Illinois, represented by SEVEN DEMOCRAT House Members (Zero Republicans).
Chicago Illinois, governed by a corrupt DEMOCRAT governor, a DEMOCRAT Attorney General, a DEMOCRAT Speaker of the Illinois House, a DEMOCRAT President of the Illinois Senate.
BHO will bring to Washington all that shines bright in Chicago.
Compare the numer of murders in Chicago per capita and the do the same for Minneapolis, MN where there is a Republican Govenor, senators and house of reps.

Im totally against any kind of gun control. except maybe tracking ownership. Even that has pitfalls. Gun control ensures that only criminals will have them.
Im just so disgusted with Palins many screw ups. And McCain picking her without doing the proper research just to capture Hillary Dems. STUPID!!! I dont think he took into account how many supporters would jump ship.
I lived in Chicago until 1986 when I enlisted in under the GI bill. 18 yrs.
