Second Amendment supporters say strict gun control has made Chicago the most murderous city in the nation for the year just ended (2003). "Chicago finished off the year with more murders than New York or Los Angeles," said Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb. "During the past 12 months, 599 people were murdered in Chicago, three more than in New York, where 596 people were slain, and about 100 more than in Los Angeles."
