Time for more gun Lars that don’t work. BTW, you’re seeking yet another term?

Some great quotes from the article: "...Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said more needs
to be done to hold repeat gun offenders accountable.

"It is the same people who are pulling the triggers in some of these communities. This isn't a
widespread issue among citizens of the city. This is a small subset of individuals who think they
can play by their own rules because they continue to get a slap on the wrist when we arrest them,"
Johnson said."

""I hear people holding us accountable all the time," Johnson said. "I never hear people saying
these individuals out here in the streets need to stop pulling the trigger. I never hear that. I
never hear that. They get a pass from everybody and they shouldn't."

Johnson has the right idea.
.......

I think Johnson is a great guy and could help clean up a lot of the place, especially if the local legislature would allow him to do so,
I think the judges letting the folks off with a slap (and none too hard) on the wrist is a huge part
of the problem, as he says above.
yep!

But still. Guess those gang bangers haven't heard of the strict gun laws up there? Not to mention Cook County has a special tax on every hand gun round sold there. Sounds like they are sure getting a lot of good from yet another tax!


They need the money and selling plastic bags for a dime at the 7-11
isn't going to cover it.
