If most of America were the Chicago slums then the Chicago homicide rate would be a lot more applicable to the rest of the country.
In a way it does prove that, because it's bad guys with guns killing other bad guys with guns. You take away inner city gang violence and we have a murder rate comparable to European nations. The solution is simple, remove the economic incentive for these gangs to kill each other by legalizing drugs, or at least some of them. Also, heavier sentences for gun related crimes, even carrying, would go some way towards solving the problem.
