The Chicago Police Department has said that the city of Chicago has now topped over 700 homicides this year alone. Completely passing its last year's number (480 in 2015). It seems to be that the driving force of this violence has been with guns. With over 90% of these homicides being gun-related, there is no doubt that gun violence is a big problem within this city. A big problem that is definitely worth debating over, in order to find a solution.
This, obviously, is something that need to be fixed. Or at the very least, decreased. The big problem most government officials are probably dealing with is how. As a suggestion, I would say gun control. By gun control, I don't mean blocking the people's 2nd amendment. I just mean to create some sort of special and reasonable procedure for it.
This event relates VERY closely to the situation in Chicago nearly 2 decades ago. Where, in 1998, Chicago gained about 704 homicides.

That is absolutely horrible. More people need to know that their life should be worth deserving and that people will always be there for them. Hopefully this helps people understand the serious situation suicide is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Gun control is a really big issue prominent in this last year, and we need to find a steady plan that works.
ReplyDeleteIt's insane that people don't realize what a huge problem the United States has in general with gun problems. I agree that there needs to be some kind of enforcements to help gun control.
