It’s going to get a lot worse... because they don’t have the money or the will to put the criminals in jail.

And here is the Democrat answer to prevent all of the murders in Democrat controlled big-cities.

State lawmaker wants to curb Chicago crime by tracking bullets

Posted 12:25 PM, August 30, 2016, by Tonya Francisco, Updated at 12:56pm, August 30, 2016

CHICAGO — An Illinois State Representative from Chicago is addressing the violence epidemic in the city, in a different way.

Rep. Sonya Harper, D-Chicago, represents some of the most crime-ridden communities, including Englewood and the Back of the Yards neighborhood.

Harper introduced her plan Tuesday for a bill that would require ammunition makers to stamp serial numbers on every bullet sold in Illinois.

Harper says shootings would go down, because it would be easier to track providers of illegally acquired ammunition.

CHICAGO (WLS) —
An Illinois state lawmaker plans to propose a bill that would require serial numbers be stamped on all ammunition sold in Illinois.

State Rep. Sonya Harper, D-Chicago, believes that serial numbers would help track bullets and help police identify those who are illegally distributing ammunition.

“We’re not trying to get rid of responsible gun owners guns, we just want to know how the guns and the bullets are getting into the hands of our youth and causing senseless harm and murder,” Harper said.

Harper was joined on Tuesday by several state lawmakers, Chicago aldermen and others in support of the proposal.

Harper said she hopes to file the bill later this week.

They want the carnage to continue as a reason why Americans must be disarmed.

Chicongo is a war zone because the man who organized that community wants it that way.

Wasn’t there a recent study showing load-of-bull warming linked to increased crime?

If not, there will be, as we cannot allow democrats who run everything in the high-crime areas to take the blame.

This is massive failure of the most fundamental priority of government: protection of the citizens who formed said government.

The police nowadays are not much more than armed report takers. They prevent no crimes.

Yep. Disarmed, tracked, a new federal police force, and any other Big Government nightmare you can imagine.
