For their next trick, they will stop the sun rising tomorrow.
Not one word about going after and jailing/executing the actual shooters.
This will fail because it is just as STUPID as fighting drug addiction by going after the dealers.
The supply of firearms (legal or illegal) is not the root of the violence problem.
Just curious....these gun traffickers, straw buyers, unscrupulous licensed firearms dealers...are they people of ‘color’ or white dudes?
It just sounds like you’d put twenty cops on a 500 man-hour chase....to hunt down ‘Larry’ from Cleveland who sold one single pistol to some juvenile black drug dealer in Chicago. If you don’t recover the gun from the crime....then the whole thing becomes a joke.

I thought the problem was with the Whities in the 'burbs...
Chicago, what a wonderful place to sell ammo....
“and we’re going to try to charge you with the highest charge we can, if not in the federal system, then at the state attorney’s office.”
But charging the people who are actually pulling the triggers is completely out of the question.
Idiots.

Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown doesn't say what they intend to do with all those who use guns, from any source, in a crime. They could go out tomorrow and arrest hundreds they already let go. Blame the inanimate guns, ignore the criminal.
Guns cause violence like spoons made me fat and my pencil caused me to make math errors.
Translation:
We need to find 50 inside desk spots for some two-year rookies who are too connected and precious to work the streets.
Bread and Circuses. “We are going to spend a lot of money to make it appear as if we are doing something”
What next?
Blaming sharp sticks.?
Ah,, “it’s the criminally disposed person, Stupid.”
Translation” We will go after the legal gun dealers and let the criminals who use the guns go free to vote for us”.
Won’t work if the DA refuses to prosecute.
The first screams of racism and racial profiling will bring this to a screeching halt.
Are they fixing their demographics problem?
Sure, a sociopath murderer won’t be a threat if only you can disarm his gun dealer…
From the Chicago Rats who (in Federal power) brought you Operation Fast and Furious whereby they actually sold the guns to the bad guys. Between incompetence and pure Rat-government corruption this should be good.
“ Finally fighting the cartels. Should be good.”
Are they really going to fight their biggest donors?
In general it is not large, organized cartels bringing guns to Chicago.
It is one or two at a time, by tightly trusted, family and close associates.
Guns are *not* the problem.
The attitude of no rule of law is the problem.
The blatant corruption and racism against white people is the problem.
