One of the great champions of the black community is Father Michael Pfleger, head pastor at the Saint Sabina Church on the southside of Chicago. Father Pfleger often works with another man for whom I have tremendous respect: Min. Louis Farrakhan of The Nation of Islam. Together, these two men provide beacons of hope for black families everywhere, while much of the Chicago elite simply tap dance around the most persistent problems in the African American community.

These guns are often supplied by manufacturers who “accidentally” lose the weapons that make their way onto the streets at relatively cheap prices. The tactic is a simple reminder of how weapons manufacturers in the United States have been able to profit from bloodshed for well over a century.
