Trump's 'feds' now in Chicago to fight gun violence 'epidemic'

a reply to: CB328

Blaming obama is just an extension of blaming democrats - who have been running Chicago for decades. This problem is theirs and theirs alone.

Chicago did overturn some of its gun ban legislation but it is still one of the most heavily legislated cities in the country with regards to fire arms. Also, it is disingenuous to comment only on the piece of legislation overturned by Chicago when Federal, Cook county and Illinois laws are still in effect. Very little has actually changed. (I live in Cook county)

If you want to solve this problem you are going to have to make some people very angry and you will be called racist bigot hater in the process. That is because this record breaking violence is almost entirely due to black on black violence. But if you are a politician, or anyone else for that matter, and you say that publicly you are putting a bulls-eye on your back.

You will NEVER solve a problem you can't even call by it's name. If you can't say it - you sure as hell can't do it.
