Woman shot in West Englewood


Since he's can't run for re-election, he may as well place the blame where it belongs. Local, state, and national politicians. Those are the ones squarely responsible for tying law enforcement's hands when it comes to gun violence.

They are responsible for not banning assault weapons, large capacity magazines, and passing universal background checks. They shielded gun manufacturers from civil suits. They have not demanded gun manufacturers installed "smart technology" on guns, so law enforcement find the offenders quicker.

They are responsible for passing insane open carry/concealed carry, and the asinine "stand your ground" laws. They are responsible for not simplifying sentencing guideline reforms when guns are used in crimes, and going after the infamous "straw buyer".

So yeah. Since he can't run again, why not put the blame where it squarely belongs? That would make a great speech.
