The community activist group "Put Down The Guns Young People" is headed to Chicago to spread their message of putting an end to gun violence.

The group is driving to Chicago and will spend the weekend meeting with community leaders and passing out literature.

Logan said he's going at the expense of his personal safety.

There's the answer to the violence in Chicago! Talk to "community leaders" who have not been able to stop the violence with all their gun control laws and high-minded talk. Then, pass out pamphlets with a catchy slogan that explains that guns are the source of violence instead of criminals. And I know that these pamphlets will not mention a lack of job opportunities with the loss of manufacturing jobs due to high taxes and over-regulation as a prime cause of the violence.

I am sure that they mean well, but their efforts are misguided. Armed citizens with a job that can legally provide for themselves while defending themselves against violent thugs is a more practical solution.

Guns aren’t the problem. “Young people” are the problem. Until these morons learn this, the problem will continue.

These Tarheels go out on Navy Pier, behind the shops, and they’ll get an education in life in the big city.

This is so pathetic. I’d love to see them head to the South Side and get their gig on. Ugh

[Libloather]

Are they going at night? They better be armed.

We can have a Pool on how long before one is shot . . .

I hope they have adequate protection - them “young people” will eat the up and spit them out.
