As of September 6th, 2016, there have been 6,888 American deaths in the two wars waged as a result of the September 11th attacks.

In comparison, there have been 7,916 deaths as a result of Chicago gun violence during the time of these two wars.

These deaths are largely concentrated on the south and west sides of Chicago in Black and Latino American communities.

These victims are often young teenagers and sometimes young children.

Though Chicago strictly prohibits the possession of firearms, Indiana does not. Chicago nearly borders Indiana. Through loopholes, guns from Indiana are funneled into Chicago's south side.
