Growing clamor for Obama to visit Chicago, address city's violence

Growing clamor for Obama to visit Chicago, address city's violence



Well, I have no problem with such an action. But, in reality, this matter is up to the Mayor, Governor, City Council, and State Legislators for any action that must be taken. These elected representatives have only come up with legislation that digs into the wallets of law abiding citizens. So far, they have come up with zero legislation dealing with the criminal aspect of this issue.

No stiffer penalties for criminals in possession of illegally obtained firearms. No stiffer penalties for "Straw Purchasers". I just read an article from another news source stating, "Gun violence concentrated in specific areas of the city". Or words to that effect. Well guess what? It will spread. That's the real criminal aspect of this issue.

History has taught those that choose to learn, the "Pattern" criminals undertake when scrutiny is concentrated. They Move. So once again legislators here's your solution. Deal with the criminal aspect via stiffer penalties, no more probation. That one action alone, slows the movement of these terrorist.
