Brazen shooting just blocks from top cop :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime


Here we go again. A little warm weather and the knuckle-heads bear arms, and are out in force on the streets bringing havoc and pain for families.

I really think our District, County, and State Attorney's need to huddle together, and go down State and force the legislature for tougher sentencing for these knuckle-heads bearing arms. Seriously, a hard 10, or 15 years may just knock some common-sense into these clowns. They are running around just shooting because they have access to guns, that the typical law-abiding citizen doesn't.

This is a serious issue that our State Legislature cannot ignore anymore. There must be severe consequences for these knuckle-heads. Gun shops should, and need the development of some database for sharing information with law enforcement to find out who is making "Straw Purchases" for these criminals.

The weather is getting warmer, and the knuckle-heads are running amok. It's time for our State Legislature to get serious, and strengthen sentencing for violators of our gun laws. No excuses.
