Why? Because streets of Chicago are flooded with guns. Because it's so easy to buy guns in the black market.
OK, but why does s group of people want those guns so bad, and then why do they use them on each other so much ? Can't a people just choose peace instead of being in gangs or using violence so much ? Poverty is no excuse, because during the 30's people were dirt poor literally, but for the most part they came through with their morals and character still intact. Poverty and having little in life is what spurs on the struggle to better oneself in life, and should never be used to justify violence or violent behavior. Leaving behind God, and excluding him from the lives of those who choose unwise and violent lifestyles, has led to what we are seeing today in this nation. Also more people at the top becoming corrupt and unGodly, is also spuring on a nation of evilness and mayhem. We must return to God or it will only get worse and worse.
