The tragic gun problem in Chicago and other cities is complex. There is not one simple solution and many approaches will need to be employed before a significant reduction in the number of homicides occurs. One angle could involve changing the general perception of the use of guns as a way to settle problems. As an example, consider the way that the public opinion of smoking changed over (a relatively short) time due to a concerted effort to change the image of smokers. Rather than being “cool,” smoking came to be seen as a foolish behavior, and the number of smokers has dropped greatly.

Save Chitcago?
Never going to happen.
You'd have to get rid of the Thug Culture first. That means getting rid of hundreds of thug politicians, thousands of thug cops, and all the thug criminals who don't work in city government... |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
