Over the three-day Labor Day weekend, 41 people were shot in Chicago, seven fatally.Davantae Jackson, 15, was supposed to start high school on Tuesday. Instead, he’s dead. Chicago has among the most restrictive gun-control laws, but Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took to Twitter to point out that “disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer.”“Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals—prosecuting & getting them off the street—BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens,” Cruz wrote. Gun control doesn’t work.

Mayor Lightfoot, you need to get control of your city. As I see it, you are just as bad or even worse than the last mayor.

Every one of the Republican led states surrounding the Chicago area is safer than Chicago.
That's because Republicans solve problems!
Throw out the failed democrat tyrants in Chicago and put some Republicans in charge of that sad city and you'll see crime drop to the same levels as the surrounding states that Lightfoot criticizes
Get it done! Lightfoot! Stop whining and lying.

The guns are the means to the ends. If it weren't guns, it would be knives, sticks, stones, etc. The problem is cultural and will never change because those so-called people who are in a position to call it all out for all to see who are black will NEVER do so. They would face the usual epithets. The other cities like Chicago have the same problems...blacks killing blacks, black on black crime, etc but the obvious topic is too toxic to state. The black churches are complicit in all of this. The black politicians are complicit. BUT no one will state the obvious. Just keep walking by and ignore the obvious. Let's all gather at the river and sing...we shall overcome..everything will be ok.

Maybe the mayor can call for extremely high minimum mandatory prison sentences for the use of a gun in a crime as a means of deterring gun crime. Use a gun in doing a crime and go to prison for 20 years with no parole. How do you like me now?

FTA: "60% of illegal firearms recovered in Chicago come from outside IL—mostly from states dominated by coward Republicans like you who refuse to enact commonsense gun legislation. "
And 100% of the people who used illegal firearms to kill in Chicago and 100% of their victims are from inside IL - all from a state and city dominated by Democrats like you , Mayor Lightfoot, who are unable or unwilling to enforce your laws and keep the peace.
DEMOCRATS rule Chicago and have done so for decades. When will they fight for the safety of the residents of Chicago?

The Democrats, msm, progressives, liberals, socialists want to ban all guns every one of them. As long as there is a God given 2nd Amendment right to bear arms and WTP have them the Republicans will be blamed for every gun death by the msm and Democrats. Since we oppose the banning of guns then to their deranged leftist minds we are responsible. Every mass shooting and every murder or suicide by a gun will be blamed on Republicans that's the latest leftist meme! So get used to it!

I am an OLD white guy who lives in the DEEP SOUTH so I am apparently a white supremacist (these days). I have been commenting here for years that EVERYBODY gets worked up over a MASS shooting, especially in a school but n NOBODY (Roberto O'Rourquez) gives a S*** about Chicago. That's just black children shooting black children EVERY week. Confiscate all the AR-15s you can get your paws on, the gangstas will still have their 9's.

And there is the problem with most inner cities, they refuse to take personal responsibility for their own actions, they always have to blame someone or some thing else, when it is the mirror, it is always the mirror!
In away I guess you can't blame them, I would not want to look at that horrific reflection and admit its me either.

The problem with your solution, #5, is that a huge percentage of crimes in Chicago go unsolved. Blacks aren't going to rat out other blacks, partly cultural, partly to spite whitey and partly because of possible repercussions. A dead witness is no longer a witness.

So, she's saying the criminals are smuggling in guns from other states, which means they should be working to stop that threat to their citizens.
But, Chicago is corrupt as it comes, and I'll bet they know who's bringing in those guns, and where they're being used.
And, I doubt Chicago officials want to do what's necessary to stop the violence either.

Guns have been restricted in Chicago and New York and many other demoncrat-run cities for decades, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the gangs and other criminals from shooting lots of people. I remember earlier decades when the gangs fought with knives, chains and zip guns because they couldn't get their hands on real guns. It never fails to amaze me that every time a criminal or person with mental problems shoots innocent people, the liberals call for law-abiding Americans to be disarmed. What does one have to do with the other? Exactly what are "common sense gun policies"? Criminals buy their guns from other criminals. If America had no guns, criminals would probably be buying them from Mexican drug gangs, who probably buy them from the ATF...

#11 SOME gun laws are Federal, some are State and others may be City. The embarrassing truth for democrat gun grabbers is that the states and cities that have the strictest gun laws have the worst gun crime rates. Illinois is strict and so is Chicago. What this dingbat mayor is saying is that if the Chicago thugs could not get weapons from outside Chicago there would be no shootings there.
A worthwhile experiment, although the democrat idiots would have hissy fits, would be to allow the sale of weapons and concealed carry permits to all who are law abiding Chicago citizens for one year and watch the shooting statistics go rapidly down. It will never happen. Any "teen" who pulled out his 9 mil and held it sideways would then worry which of the people he was intimidating would drill him first. Guns create a lot of gentlemen.
