Chiraq

In the last years, Chicago received a new surname:"Chiraq". It was coined by some of the youth of the town. The reason for merging Chicago and Iraq is due to the high death rates that were recorded from 2003 to 2010, with 4.265 people killed that were compared to the 4.422 American soldiers killed in Iraq during the same period.  The term was popularized by the 'Drill' hip-hop scene or "Drillinois" which describes this music scene and its infamous dangerous streets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLptMQlY6j0-HMT7qXJu_zIaHgZzUfSGh3&v=TybFtK6VTVo#t=72
Chicago is known as the most segregated city in America, as well as a gang city and is still experiencing more killing, notably children and teenagers. One recent event: the bloody Easter weekend of 2014 where 5 kids under 15 were killed or wounded as they had been shot after an Easter services nearby a church.
The problem at the core of those gangs is that carrying guns is legal even though some carry them illegally. This right is at the core of the US Constitution in the Second Amendment, and it seems unlikely to change if reform is not taken more seriously since this practice is deeply rooted in America.
