Editor’s note: This is the third in an occasional series of opinion essays, produced in cooperation with the University of Chicago Crime Lab, exploring solutions to the scourge of gun violence in Chicago. The Crime Lab released a report this month about the historic surge in

There is much to learn from the Crime Lab’s report. For example, many people likely do not know that almost 20 percent of Chicago’s homicide victims are children and teens; that almost half of gun violence victims are not affiliated with a gang; and just 6 percent of shootings last year resulted in arrest.

It sounds to me that keeping Chicago thugs “off the streets” might be a better idea and save more lives. Just sayin’.

[BenLurkin]

Sixty percent of our crime guns originate in states with weaker gun laws, especially Indiana and Wisconsin.

60 percenthuh? Suspiciously round number.

[rktman]

Bigger NO GUNS signs? Or is the “YUGER”.

[1Old Pro]

Maybe try Midnight basketball.

It’s not a question of keeping guns off the streets. It’s a question of keeping them out of the hands of criminals and the best way to do that is to put the criminals in jail.

The problem with Chicago is....too many CHICAGOANS...

[Maverick68]

Remember: Democrats profit and prosper by keeping people angry, ignorant and poor...Gun violence is a byproduct of Democrat rule .

How about a travel ban from Chicago to those states?

[BenLurkin]

Wall off Chicago?

Don’t give Hollywood any ideas. They’ll want to reboot Escape from New York as Escape From Chicago.

And cast Shia LaBoof as Snake Plisken.

Teens:

It’s everybody else’s fault except the people pulling the trigger.

No Account!

the scourge of gun violence in Chicago

Bullshit. Their problem is "feral negro violence". They'll never solve their problem if they continue to misidentify it.

Hey Jackass!

A ton Chitogo’s crime guns come from Atlanta,GA, and guess who is buying them?

[DaveA37]

Perhaps buiding “concentration camps” like were used during WWII will slow down some of the shootings in Chicago. Any “yute” caught with an illegal firearm gets to spend 5 years in the “camp” doing hard labor, NO QUESTIONS, NO GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card. GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. You said that much more tactfully than I was going to.

OK. Does the editor mean that this is the third in a series or the third of a series?

Their going to building more railroads. Put the sorry good for nothings on a chain gang with a 20 lb hammer driving spikes. No more than 1500 calories per day. We dont want muscled up thugs.

[Beagle8U]

When I lived in FL (early 1960’s) the ‘chain gang’ did all the highway maintenance. Yup, mostly Obama’s sons.

[Feckless]

The Hutu and Tutsi would just revert back to machetes...
