We don''t need to worry about people who have a registered gun & keep it in their home for protection. NRA members. They''re not the problem. They''re not the ones shooting black people.

YOUNG BLACK MEN ARE KILLING BLACK PEOPLE. Not middle aged black men. Not old black men. YOUNG black men.

If you don''t go to college, learn a trade or join the armed forces, how can you expect to make a decent salary with only a high school diploma? I don''t care if you''re white, brown, black or red. IT AIN''T GONNA HAPPEN.

How many young black men would want to go to college even if you gave it to them free of charge? Intellectual achievement & education is not something most of them want. They don''t respect educated people. It means nothing to them. What they do admire & pay attention to is pro athletes & rich rappers.

Black women are the ones graduating from college. Black men just have a high school diploma. Women don''t want to marry someone "below" them. They want to marry someone at their level or above. College educated professional black women find it tough to find a suitable black man to marry. 70% of black women are single.

Why do people think that all black people are poor, with a lack of education, and have no parent involvement? People are getting killed and you still are stereotyping. Chicago is rough because every young kid seem to think it is cool to be tough.

And in every state that has passed this kind of law, crime has dropped. We are not ever going to put a stop to crime, but we sure can slow it down and make the one doing the crime think twice because he does not know who may have weapon on their person.

In the Chicago case, Mayor Richard Daley, is so much of an anti-gun fanatic that he can%u2019t see any reason at all.

ummm... I agree with you. I said so earlier in posts but got a little tired of fighting. Sorry I gave you the wrong impression.

Everyone does not have to own a gun of any kind. Just let the people that do have them. As stated in the State of Florida, even out of state people can get a concealed weapons carry permit. There are about 40 states that have a carry permit law one the Books. And in every state that has passed this kind of law, crime has dropped. We are not ever going to put a stop to crime, but we sure can slow it down and make the one doing the crime think twice because he does not know who may have weapon on their person.

USBrit.. I think the guy in my post was a man named Tony Martin. They made an example out of him. = ) I''''m kidding.

I don''''t think I care about guns anymore- this is a tough battle and I''''m just a girl who doesn''''t own a gun.

Chicago, if you want to solve this problem, then ARMED parents, in mass, will need to rid the streets of these thugs. When force is met with overwhelming force, the gangsbangers will leave, or be dead. You cannot rely on politicians, not the police, to do it for you. The mindset in that city needs to change dramatically, or kids will continue to suffer. This sure isn''t a politically correct solution, but politically correct is getting kids killed.
