What's The Root Cause Of Chicago's Gun Violence Crisis? Guns

Dueling op-eds published last week considered whether a “war on guns” — namely tougher mandatory sentences for repeat gun offenders — is the right strategy for combating Chicago’s gun violence epidemic. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez argues that the “revolving [prison] door” for gun offenders is to blame for Chicago’s gun violence. Public Defender Amy Campanelli challenges her, predicting that this “war on guns” will fail much the way the “war on drugs” has. Both Alvarez and Campanelli make valid points. But both ignore the most obvious root cause of Chicago’s gun violence crisis: guns.

You say it's not the criminal who uses the most effective self-defense tool that's too blame? What kind of person can buy into this drivel?

"What's The Root Cause Of Chicago's Gun Violence Crisis? Guns"

WRONG.
Gang violence, drug violence. All the result of horribly broken family structure. Kinds with no dads ... or with too many possiblities for dads .... no male parent to guide the young boys' upbringing; their youthful energies go somewhere.....
....they go to violence, drugs, predatory behaviour, determining status ("alpha male") through violence rather than a sports game with adult supervision.

You can go after the guns -- but that's been done. It's only a symptom. Like giving someone with a brain tumour an aspirin because he has a headache .....

"Kinds with no dads" should read "Kids with no dads ...."
Sigh......
