Chicago shootings: 5 teens among 20 shot, 4 killed in weekend gun violence across city, police say
Toughest gun laws in the country. Wonder why EL doesn't post about Chicago every weekend?
And stop DAs from pleading major felonies down to misdemeanors.I say we do both: increase criminal penalties for violent offenders and restrict guns.

Ok, restrict how? What specifically needs to be different than how it is today? On the surface it doesn’t sound unreasonable but the devil is always in the details.

Some mix of the following:
1) universal background checks;
2) mandatory prison sentences for all gun crimes, including illegal possession;
3) restrict magazine size and make it a significant crime to exceed;
4) waiting period of at least 10 days.
That doesn't surprise me either. Stupidity is also rampant across the social strata.
