"We can't just allow anyone to come into Chicago, play police in our streets, in our neighborhoods, when they don't know the first thing about our city. That's a recipe for disaster."

Attorney General Merrick Garland is heading to his hometown of Chicago on Thursday to signal the Biden administration’s commitment to reining in the surge of gun violence plaguing many of America’s biggest cities.
Garland is set to unveil a set of new gun “strike forces” aimed at shutting down the pipelines of guns being illegally trafficked into urban centers, but his visit is sure to be received with some skepticism as just the latest policy pronouncement from Washington. Shootings in the Windy City have seemed out of control for years, particularly in the summer.
Last weekend, 56 people were shot in Chicago; 11 of them fatally. Over the Fourth of July weekend, at least 108 people were shot with at least 17 people killed, according to the Chicago Tribune.
"We are redoubling our efforts as ATF works with law enforcement to track the movement of illegal firearms used in violent crimes," Garland said in a statement. "These strike forces enable sustained coordination across multiple jurisdictions to help disrupt the worst gun trafficking corridors."

Who knew it was so easy?
Break a leg, Merrick.
These idiots act like Chicago and gun violence just happened this year in the city hasn’t had decades and decades of extreme violence.
Clearly, the solution is to make guns even prohibited-er in Chicago, as well as taking guns away from white Republican voters who live thousands of miles away.
Oh, and releasing more murderers, robbers, and rapists from Chicago-area lockups.
Because social justice. It’s the communist way.
Doomed to fail virtue signaling.
The problem with Chicago (and other big cities) isn’t black thugs getting easy access to guns, it is the democratic party accepting black thugs.
As long as thugs aren’t punished for thuggery, thuggery will continue.
White thugs aren’t a problem in Chicago, but black thugs are. However, due to the Woke Culture you cannot punish a black thug like you would a white thug.
Equal punishment for thuggery!
PeeWee Merrick is on his way to stop the violence. LOL
Because he has a Good Friend Named Fat A$$ Pritzker and Beetle Juice Lightfoot.
"We can't just allow anyone to come into Chicago, play police in our streets, in our neighborhoods, when they don't know the first thing about our city. That's a recipe for disaster."
Wow, I guess it is that easy.
With no guns there would be no drugs, no gangs, no robberies,
no home invasions, no burglaries, no homicides, etc.
Finally there’s no need of Police and that money can all go
to social justice or wokeness or something...
She’s black Jake
Shitcago always blames Indiana for their problems because people buy guns in Indiana.
The Mob makes money from the gangs drug trade and they share it with the Dems to keep the cops off of their back.
They deliberately let it become a “crisis” so they can make a grand entrance to get political points. They are not willing to do what needs to be done to solve the problem, so they use the crisis to pass more restrictions on non-violent gun owners.
gun trafficking isn’t the prob Mary
it’s the cultural rot your team perpetuated and the guns already in the hands of the uncivilized
and what is this “redoubling” crap? did you double already so now your what quadrupling?
mindless, meaningless corporate talk I’ve heard a thousand times before
what’s you time line Mary?? what are your metrics around what success looks like? % reduction in what? ...or % increase in votes and power? hmmm? not hard to figure this one out.
your just another deep state kneeler Mary.
He should have started in Atlanta, because that is where most of the illegal guns come from.
This has been going on since Capone. Instead of organized crime, Chicago has quasi disorganized crime. The Blacks run everything and are knee deep in this. The only difference is a new set of players.
I suggest he head west on Madison St until he hits the lovely Garfield Park area. He can stand on a street corner at say, oh I don’t know, around 11:00 PM with a couple of social workers.
I’d pay good money to see that.
L
He is going to greatly increase police, police enforcement, support for police, trials, conviction, incarceration,?….no didn’t think so…
Looks like a failure in a suit
