16-year-old dies after being shot by police in Chatham - Chicago Sun-Times



16, obviously not in school, running the streets "robbing" people. How does such a thing happen? Indifference from the parent or parents? Drug addicted parents? Who facilitated the kids access to weaponry? These are just a few of the questions that beg addressing, if any of us can begin rectifying circumstances of this nature ever happening again.

This country truly needs a system that can, and must track gun sales. Those so-called "straw purchasers" have to be sent a message that once those guns come up missing, they must be reported on that day or night. No more lame excuses. Report it, or pay a hefty fine. We are talking about lives here. Now I'm fully aware the NRA leadership is totally against such legislation. But the dues paying members see things differently. As you nay have heard or read, a majority of members support some type of gun control to help law enforcement keep these weapons out of criminal/terrorist hands. Why the dues-grabbing leaders do not, is anyone's guess. But that is a problem that can be addressed. Sometimes, ordinary people like the NRA members, will stop paying dues in-order to let the dues grabbers know, that they are wrong on certain issues, and legislation. 

Like I've stated, it's just a few questions we can all address, for rectifying circumstances of this nature ever happening again.
