11 Wounded In Weekend Shootings « CBS Chicago


Somewhere in this country, there's another person like myself, posting similar articles of horrendous gang shootings as you read here. Face it people, it's happening all over the Untied States.

The question is, why are we, and our elected officials failing in addressing this menace? Just a couple of days ago, they were marching up and down the block demanding a ceasefire. Today, one picks up, or reads online, more shootings.

What must finally happen for all involved to realize we have not a problem, but an epidemic on our hands? Some states are taking action, others are making it worse. When teens have access too firearms better than your law abiding citizen, well you know your entire state is fucked up. And yet you have other states with more stringent laws on the books, while its neighboring state has a big "Come Get You Gun, No Questions Asked Sign", on their border.

The United States of America should mean exactly that, United. Why are we so divided on this simple issue? Somewhere in this country, there's another person like myself, asking the same question.
