I recently took a low-light level shooting class and the instructor and I were discussing Chicago. It’s well-known the violence is generally confined to about 4 neighborhoods or sections of the Windy City and that it’s also mostly bad guy vs. bad guy shootings, with poor innocents caught in the crossfire.

Also, many — if not most — of the guns used by the bad guys find their way to them through a variety of illegal means, such as from straw purchases and theft of legally owned firearms, proving yet again that criminals will always get guns. Because they’re criminals, and lawbreakers simply don’t obey laws.

Bottom line: The city’s new mayor has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to guns and Chicago, that’s for sure. So she needs to take her foot out of her own mouth, for starters.

I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. In the late 50s early 60s you could get on the L Train with your other 12 year old friends and go downtown to see a movie, and ride up to the top of the Prudential Building.

The place now is a toilet. Yeah, most of the shooting is confined to a few neighborhoods, but it’s slowly engulfing the other neighborhoods too, and downtown.

I’ll never go back there again, never.
