Mike Quigley (D-IL) calling for more gun control reminds me of the Genesis song <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zb9UND65mto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Can&#8217;t Dance<\/a> from their <i>We Can&#8217;t Dance<\/i> album. Just substitute &#8220;I can&#8217;t add, I can&#8217;t do math&#8221; for &#8220;I can&#8217;t dance, I can&#8217;t talk&#8221; and you have Mayor Daley. <\/p>\n<p>Daley claims that 100,000 people are &#8220;shot and killed with a gun&#8221; every year on average. He makes this remark at the .25 mark of the video.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you take the numbers from their own posters &#8211; 34 &#8211; and multiply that by 365, you only get 12,410. That is a far cry from 100,000. Even when you add in suicides and gun-related accidental deaths, the annual number has averaged 32,000 deaths for the years 1980-2006.
