My FOID status been under review since August. I know they backlogged but damn. 6 month wait time when I looked up an article a few months ago. CAN'T WAIT. The picture I sent was sideways though
If they approve my shyt
Chuck's Gun Shop will be my second home.
About what
Neither of those has shown to bring about any substantial change in gun violence rates. The obvious issue is that Boomers and older generations allowed the mass proliferation of firearms and refused to actually raise their children in close proximity. And all the "three strike rule" and mandatory minimums do is ensure there's a vastly higher incarceration rate, things don't actually get safer
The mayor and the teachers have nothing to do with this - because gun violence stays, regardless of the mayor and until the federal and state governments provide vaccines for the overworked teachers, there's no good reason to send them back to get sick and die.
Poverty creates the conditions - you don't have to be hungry to engage in community violence.
Nah, they are the c00ns!! Anyone with the mentality that kills 300+ black people a year, mostly men at that, are immediate dangers to black people and our society. We need to stop feeling bad we don't engage and condone degenerate behavior, even if we fully understand how the conditions came to be.I agree 100%. There will be collateral damage. I'm with it if it keeps my people safe. There is no one size fits solution. Play stupid games, THAT'S YOUR ASS bytch. You smart. Rep pending
We sound like c00ns
Chuck been 10 toes down in Riverdale since white people lived there..
He USE to live in Englewood..
I wish people would leave the bold out of arguments unless it's about reparations. The wealth gap exists because there was a 400+ year head start on us being able to create wealth. Not to mention all the sabotage in between. The ONLY way to fix it is via reparations.the wealth gap has increased while the middle class is shrinking
shouldn't come to a surprise that crime will rise in the midst of it

Look at Fruitvale in CA - like 1/3 of the Black male adult population is either incarcerated or under state supervision and it has the time highest rates of gun violence and some of the lowest life expectancies.
All you're advocating for is a much more extreme ghetto than the one that already exists.

I agree about employment, this is the result of damn near a century of segregation in Chicago, gang culture that developed out of that segregation, austerity measures that cut mental health services, housing services, educational services, and social services - and yes, parental failure that came from that as well.
Hopelessness will do a number on the youth.
