Instead, those now in prison will stay busy knifing each other rather than shooting each other. As stated elsewhere, “It’s a heart problem, not a gun problem.”

In prison they don't contribute to Chicago statistics and they kill each other with shivs and cords and fists which is politically acceptable behaviour. Perhaps the local pols in Chicago should push murder by edged or pointed weapons as an alternative to the hated and feared "gun violence." Perhaps there could be rewards for killers using tools other than ̣shiverĐ guns. It would take some innovation to substitute for the drive-by shootings, though. The mayor needs to form a commission to study that.
