After last year's news-dominating surge in homicides, everyone in Chicago is looking for answers. A new study of last year’s spike in gun violence, published on Tuesday by the University of Chicago’s Crime Lab, is more descriptive than prescriptive, but the prevalence and increased deadliness of firearms in Chicago it finds jumps off the page. Homicides in Chicago involve guns at rates higher than many other cities; guns being used are more lethal than in the past; and non-gun crimes aren’t rising the same way gun crimes are, the study determined. |

All that is required to reduce this violence is to lock the miscreants up for a long time at the first opportunity instead of releasing them on miniscule bond or probation.
Locking them up will serve two purposes. One, it reduces the number of thugs on the street. Two, it serves notice to the ones that are left that continuing criminal behavior will get them locked up.
Until the democrats in charge of Chicago get this message the crime and killings will continue out of control. |

The article SHOULD be about "How Democrats, And Their Stubborn 'Progressive' Mismanagement, Negatively Affect Liberty And Prosperity In The Murder Capital Of The United States"

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
