So what are they going to do? Go on down to the south side, and west side, and get the youth gangs to give up their guns, give up on their feral violent deadly lifestyles and criminal behavior????
Sorry Chicago, your “public health crisis” isn’t “gun violence”, it’s the hate-filled, evil people created by the liberal “democrats”. Stop focusing on trampling the Second Amendment and try focusing on the killers, IDIOTS!
“The root cause of violence is violence.”
The root cause of Violence is Liberalism
Treat gun violence as what it is, a problem created on purpose by your government in order to give them an excuse to disarm you.

And how do we deal with cholera?
KILL IT.
The only way violence can be lessened is to stop the opiate epidemic.
Most of the shootings and fatalities in our area are drug related, either meth or heroin or a combination of both.
Cui bono?
No. Gun violence is a judicial crisis and will only get worse until we get rid of liberal judges. It’s not the guns. It’s the feral animals who know there’s no real repercussion to their lawlessness.
Pretending the problem is “gun violence” misses the point. The problem is violence; guns are simply one of the tools used. Democrats hate freedom so much that they are willing to see more of their voters die, if that helps them demonize and eventually ban the firearms that protect our liberty.
They tried a big doctor push in the ‘90s but most doctors backed out as gun groups kept pointing out that medical accidents by doctors kill far more than gun accidents. They probably forgot by now.
