KeShon Newmans daily routine is guided by guns the hundreds of illegal pistols, revolvers and other firearms that torment his South Side neighborhood. [ ]
The Auburn Gresham neighborhood is flooded with illegal guns: .40-caliber pistols, .380 semi-automatics, .38-caliber revolvers. Police recover as many as they can, searching apartments, stopping cars, cornering people on the street. A buy-back in June brought in hundreds of firearms. And in September, the mayor and other dignitaries gathered to mark a milestone: Police in the 6th District had recovered their 1,000th gun this year. [ ]
Chicagos gun violence has captured the national spotlight in recent years and President Donald Trump has, at various times, blamed the Democratic leadership, threatened to send in federal troops and breezily called the problem very easily fixable.
Those who battle this daily in the 6th District see it much differently. Guns not only shatter families, they determine what time people leave their houses, the streets and stores they avoid, whether a church should have a metal detector, even whether a Ferris wheel operator feels its safe enough to install a ride for a festival.

These guns are NOT “illegal.” They are undocumented. And deserving of sympathy, compassion, and welfare benefits.
If these guns are illegals, should not they be given sanctuary and a lawyer. Also should not the expense of resettling them with other guns be covered by the federal government. I personally am willing to adopt and provide a good home to any guns that need a good home. Regardless of past history or national origin.
“How about Chicagos feral population?”
Suppose it would be racist to ask the relationship between BASTARDY and crime with guns ?......Nah...
Guns should be viewed as an implement or tool.The direction is always towards blaming the tools used. Not to identifying, prosecuting, and offering meaningless punishment of the user which would discourage using such tools. Like death or life imprisonment.
The problem is the culture of the demographic of the area. It’s easier to blame guns than admit the true root of the problem. Culture matters.
They are buying back and "recovering" firearms that were never theirs. The DoubleSpeak is strong in today's far-left fringe.
Give them out to every gang member and wannabe. Schedule the great cleansing for 2 pm tomorrow. Perhaps Chicago can then get back to civilization.
I tend to think that the guns aren’t illegal, but maybe the owners are.
Guns ARE tools. No two ways about it.
The Left uses Gun Control to lower the Surplus Population
Liberals complain that the reason there is so much “gun violence” in Chicago is because of all the Guns coming in from outside Chicago.
Nobody asks why there isn’t the same level of “gun violence” in the places these Guns supposedly come from.
so that means 1000 hoodrats tried, convicted and sent to prison foo 20 years off the streets, right???
no, i dint think so...
More Polite Guns,,,YES!
That’s it,
We can say,
An Armed Society is a
Polite Society.
