The draconian gun control imposed upon the people of Chicago has been an utter failure.

The national leftists will just double-down on their failed policies.
You can see the same thing with COVID-19 and the failure of mitigation to stop the spread of the corona virus in the face of a widely disseminated spread.
Ultimately, the hallmark of modern leftism is the war with reality. In the December 2020 issue of Hillsdale College’s superb Imprimis , Hillsdale’s President, Larry P. Arnn, wrote an essay comparing Orwell’s 1984 with today’s America. The analogies are chilling. The one that is most damning is the left’s insistence that we abandon reality.

They just double-down on the failure.

They come to an emotional conclusion and work backwards.

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in condemning the failed leadership of their fellow Democrat Lori Lightfoot in Chicago? How many bodies must pile up before Democrats will demand accountability for Chicago’s catastrophic Democrat mayor?

As someone who used to live in central Illinois, the high levels of violence in Democrat controlled Chicago was tragic to see. The problem has been going on for a long time. It doesn’t need to be that way. A company I used to work at in the 90s used to have a few black employees that left the Chicago area due to the violence. I can remember them telling me part of the problem there was the high number of kids being raised without fathers. Without fathers the kids tend to join violent gangs.
 
One thing I won’t miss about CAF is the need by some posters to make everything political. ‘Democrat-controlled cities’? Most cities are ‘Democrat-controlled’ because more Democrats live in cities. Urban violence is due to gangs fighting other gangs for territory, not being one political party or the other. I’m sure if there were an easy fix for gang violence, it would have been implemented by authorities of whichever party was in office.

I live in the Chicago area. What is not mentioned is that Chicago experiences something like the drug problem in America – lax laws in nearby areas.

There are no guns manufactured in Chicago. Many of the weapons used illegally in the city are due to illegal or repeated purchases in jurisdictions where there are gun show and other methods of little regulation.

I think that it is surely mean-spirited and somewhat inaccurate to blame the gun killings in Chicago to politics.

Surely it is more tied to liberal sexual beliefs, and the catastrophic decline of marriage among African Americans. A 70% illegitimacy rate has ruined more lives than guns
