The tragic gun problem in Chicago and other cities is complex. There is not one simple solution and many approaches will need to be employed before a significant reduction in the number of homicides occurs. One angle could involve changing the general perception of the use of guns as a way to settle problems. As an example, consider the way that the public opinion of smoking changed over (a relatively short) time due to a concerted effort to change the image of smokers. Rather than being “cool,” smoking came to be seen as a foolish behavior, and the number of smokers has dropped greatly.

Save Chitcago?
Never going to happen.
You'd have to get rid of the Thug Culture first. That means getting rid of hundreds of thug politicians, thousands of thug cops, and all the thug criminals who don't work in city government... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
