It's not a gun problem, it's the lack of opportunity for the permanent underclass.
There's so many opportunities for the underclass that it is almost dizzying. The problem is the will to do the work. Inner city kids coming up have so many services available to them that the only excuse is indifference.
It looks like nearly all of the shootings were on the South Side in predominantly black neighborhoods.
My question is: In order to slow down the shootings in these black communities, do we really need to impose more gun-control laws on the entire country? I say no. The problem is with the culture of these particular communities. It's not a nationwide problem.
Even after recent Supreme Court decisions, Chicago still has some of the strictest "gun control" laws in the nation.
How's that working out for them?
I agree, any law that only goes about 17.5 miles (distance from Chicago city center to Indiana) is worthless. For gun control to have any impact it must be national
seems obvious that the criminals and the legal owners are ignoring these laws with equal simplicity.
