“We deserve to live a life without fear of being gunned down...its time to care about all communities equally,” Trevon Bosley, from Chicago, who lost his brother Terrell Bosley to gun violence a decade ago. His family has been advocating for gun control all that time.

People are responsible for their own safety. Perhaps he should have carried a gun.

You want to know what kills far more kids each year than guns?

But parents can't wait to give their teens one as soon as they can afford it/drive it. Why is that?

Yep...and a rental truck murdered more people than each mass shooting in this country since 1982...


And lawn mowers kill more people each year than all but one year of mass shootings...

He should have been working to vote the democrats out of office...it is their policies that keep putting gun killers back on the street.

Social Darwinism continues in Chicago. We should put more guns and ammo in Chicago and let them weed each other out.

I’m going to march in a bit. But talking to this lot is like trying to hold a conversation with jello. They cannot hear you. They do not care. This does not matter to them.

I will save my energy for better endeavors.

Granddaughter turns 21 today.

plan on getting together with her and her dad, and picking up a handgun more suited for CC

If you want to get rid of gun violence in Chicago and save lives...get rid of the democrats who keep letting gun criminals out of jail....

Chicago's grim murder trend blamed on light sentencing, misguided reforms



Lamar Harris had seven felony convictions and 43 arrests when he shot three Chicago police officers. The same week, Samuel Harviley, who had just been paroled after serving less than half of his sentence for armed carjacking, shot yet another of the Windy City’s finest.

Police officials, researchers and many elected leaders all agree that the pair were prime examples of the violent pool of criminals driving the city’s historically high crime rate. Ex-cons well-known to police and with a proven propensity for violence are being let out early from prison or let off lightly by judges, only to wreak havoc on the city, they say.
------

“We have five districts that are driving the crime in the city,” Johnson said in a recent radio interview. “And within those districts, there is a small subset of individuals who are responsible for those crimes. They have multiple arrests for gun offenses and until we start holding these people accountable [the problem will persist].”

----
Illinois is one of several states implementing recommendations from prison reform commissions to reduce or even eliminate mandatory minimum sentences. Those groups seek to reduce prison populations by as much as 25 percent.

The movement to slash sentences and free inmates is given momentum by controversial, police-involved shootings that galvanize communities, as well as protests by Black Lives Matter and civil rights groups. But shortening sentences of violent offenders puts both police and law-abiding residents of the inner city at risk, say law enforcement officials.

No...there is something we can do.....keep violent criminals in jail for 30 years........that would do the trick. But the democrats continue to let these killers out of jail...

Amen to this. The more bad that is allowed out on the streets, the more prepared that we good people must get.

God bless you always!!!

You are fucking stupid...... the way to fix it is to get rid of democrat gun free zones..which you oppose....you oppose the one thing that would reduce mass public shootings....

You are fucking stupid.

I assume this is the neocon equivalent of “Good morning?”

When one is addressing you, yes! You should get used to it!

The tally doesn’t include victims younger than 13.

73 Teens Shot To Death In The 37 Days Since The Parkland Massacre | HuffPost

Let's make the story real.

At least 73 teens have been shot to death in the 37 days since that massacre, according to HuffPost’s review of a database compiled by Gun Violence Archive, a not-for-profit organization that tracks shootings across the country. (Because Gun Violence Archive culls its data from media reports, there may be cases that haven’t been included.)

That’s a rate of nearly nearly two teens each day. Among them were Kaiden Vague, a California student who died on his 16th birthday after accidentally killing himself at a shooting range, and 15-year-old Jay Diaz in El Paso, Texas, who survived a childhood fight with cancer only to be killed when a family member fired his shotgun while cleaning it.

The deaths include Eileen Viveros-Vargas, a pregnant 18-year-old allegedly killed by her boyfriend in Minnesota; Courtlin Arrington, a 17-year-old fatally shot at her high school by a fellow student; Christopher Ruckman, a 14-year-old slain by his father, who also shot his 12-year-old brother in what police say was a double murder-suicide; An unnamed 17-year-old who took his own life in the bathroom of a Missouri high school.


Instead of just posting the link, one needs to get down to te nitty-gritty to tell it like it really is.
