It sounds to me that keeping Chicago thugs “off the streets” might be a better idea and save more lives. Just sayin’.

Sixty percent of our crime guns originate in states with weaker gun laws, especially Indiana and Wisconsin.60 percenthuh? Suspiciously round number.

It’s not a question of keeping guns off the streets. It’s a question of keeping them out of the hands of criminals and the best way to do that is to put the criminals in jail.

Wall off Chicago?
Don’t give Hollywood any ideas. They’ll want to reboot Escape from New York as Escape From Chicago.
And cast Shia LaBoof as Snake Plisken.

the scourge of gun violence in Chicago Bullshit. Their problem is "feral negro violence". They'll never solve their problem if they continue to misidentify it.

Perhaps buiding “concentration camps” like were used during WWII will slow down some of the shootings in Chicago. Any “yute” caught with an illegal firearm gets to spend 5 years in the “camp” doing hard labor, NO QUESTIONS, NO GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card. GONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Editors note: This is the third in an occasional series of opinion essays, OK. Does the editor mean that this is the third in a series or the third of a series?

Their going to building more railroads. Put the sorry good for nothings on a chain gang with a 20 lb hammer driving spikes. No more than 1500 calories per day. We dont want muscled up thugs.

When I lived in FL (early 1960’s) the ‘chain gang’ did all the highway maintenance. Yup, mostly Obama’s sons.
