Maybe they can harass the one gun shop owner in Chicago until they force him out of business and that will stop the criminals in Chicago.

“tracing the flow of guns into the city and tracking guns used in crimes”
Political correctness absolutely guarantees that the real problems will not even be considered. The blindness mandated by radical extremism will only feed the cancer.

are scheduled to announce Thursday that seven new ATF agents are being deployed to the city to try to help stem the violence.
Talk about a "P" in the pool!

I wonder if they’re bringing their super duty flame-thrower tanks and their crack team of wife-killing snipers too? They could burn the whole city down and just start over...oh wait...that’s Detroit....LOL.

I don’t care who you are, that *right there* is funny.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...
disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...
Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants;
they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides,
for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.

Yes it is. If it is possible to make the Chicago situation worse, the feds are the ones to do it.

Look for murders to triple in Chicago.

Somehow, smaller cities with “different demographics” can have a much, MUCH higher gun ownership rate and have little if any “gun violence”.
I wonder what’s different about Chicago?

If they want to reduce gun violence in Chicago they simply need to organize a massive, well trained, GANG task force and pursue and prosecute and incarcerate every gang member in Chicago ruthlessly.
If police, community members, politicians, DAs, judges and parole boards got serious about going after gangs, the violence in Chicago could be cut in half in a couple of months and by 75% in a year.
Sadly, it will never happen. Instead they will harass law abiding gun owners and gun shops.

The Chicago ‘powers that be’ need to talk to Detroit Police Chief James Craig... he’ll tell them how it’s done...

Chicago has a huge problem with youth gangs. And these gangs are full of ghetto culture attitudes. Such as settling all slights, real and imagined, with violence.
Yes, the demographics of various cities, unfortunately, seem to be a strong predictor of what sorts of problems those cities have.
There does NOT seem to be a connection between strict guns laws in various cities, and their gun violence rates. If anything, some places such as Chicago have an inverse relationship of those factors.
To: Dilbert San Diego
I DO have THE solution to their “gun violence” problem,
and it has nothing to do with guns.
Here it is... it’s pretty simple, actually...
Ready for it?
Women, require the men to marry you before you have sex with them.
Many, many, many problems solved with that solution.

They will take guns from honest, law-abiding, non-violent people while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.
