Going after guns harder than the criminals who use them? Great idea.
Because guns have a mind of their own and are quite sneaky.
OANN– CHICAGO (Reuters) – Two Cook County Sheriff’s officers reached under trash bins in an alley just before midnight in Chicago’s crime-heavy Austin neighborhood, looking for a hidden gun.
“I think I’ve got it. Yup. Loaded. Make sure to take the bullet out of the chamber,” said Officer Steve Bialczak, as he unwrapped a black plastic bag containing a handgun that had been stashed between a stack of boxes and the garbage cans.
Moments earlier on Wednesday, the two officers had stopped a suspected drug dealer at a gas station about three blocks from the alley. In the man’s car they found $1,500 cash, half a dozen cellphones and a small amount of marijuana. They confiscated the drugs and let him go after he told them where to find the gun.
The focus on rounding up illegal guns, rather than low-level drug offenders, is an increasing priority for law enforcement in Chicago as murders – almost all of them with firearms and mostly related to gangs – have risen to 304 so far this year, compared with 258 in the same period last year. more
It is not “Gun Violence” problem.
It is a “Black Violence” problem.
Until the problem is properly defined, the solution will never come.
i looked up insanity today and the dictionary said see liberalism
Chicago Police Leaders are known for stupidity.
Catch the dealer, his money and drugs.
Take the drugs, free the law breaker and give him the money back, IF he tells you where he stashed his gun.
Knowing the corruption that is prevalent in Chicago Police, I bet the money disappeared too.
DUMB !
That cap and ball revolver must have been used as a club. I doubt any of those morons are smart enough to load it.
What? No love for the gang-banger amigos?
Stupid is as stupid does.
Back in ’94 in Rwanda negroes killed between 500,000 and a 1,000,000 other negroes in 2 1/2 months with machetes.
Yeah, take all the guns.
The ferals will probably take up golf.
Time is short. A lot of them will eat their neighbors. Get ready. Take a seat. Let the chaos begin. It will eventually consume itself, so wait it out.
You hit your head on the nail.
Basic math/engineering principle:
(Plumbing, too)
Can’t solve the problem until you can define the problem.
‘ceiling’s wet’ is NOT the problem – it’s the symptom.
could be a roof leak, leaky vent, leaky condensate line, condensation, rat piss …
