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 |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
