Why Not Admit It?

Chicago “gun crime” problems are MOSTLY street gang problems. That is obvious to intelligent people, but they won’t admit it. The University of Chicago Crime Lab researchers tell us that “gun crime” is mostly limited to “specific neighborhoods.” Those are neighborhoods infested with street gangs. They even know this, but they hesitate to SAY it. Most gun crime in any large city can be traced right back to gang violence—in addition to other kinds of “gun crime.” But anti-gun fools everywhere don’t bother to try and do something about the street gangs, whose guns are ALL illegally gotten. So they want to make LAWS for the law-abiding to obey, and the law breakers to ignore. Street gangs break laws. Every day. They run drugs, numbers, extortion schemes, and many other kinds of criminal activity. So why do they expect these gangs to OBEY their silly anti-gun laws? Do something about gangs, and you will automatically “reduce gun violence.” They have to know that, so why don’t they DO it? Gun violence in Chicago IS going down. But for how long, with all the many gangs? And it's still way too high. (The Trace)
