“The president is absolutely right. The solutions to Chicago’s violence are rooted in the community. But they are also rooted in leadership. The dismal results on crime — despite draconian gun laws — point to a disconnect between the leadership and the communities they serve. If people in communities do not trust police, if they see their city as being a bastion of political corruption, they are less and less likely to work with police and other government agencies to reduce crime. No one wants to stick his neck out when the political regime is seen as a part of the problem. One only need look to nearby Detroit for a textbook case of how official corruption helped destroy a city that was already suffering socioeconomic challenges.”-Armstrong Williams, radio show host

Notice that the shooting victims are males.

Once again, most of the shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. It’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.

Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
