#1 Isn't it about time that Chicago had some reasonable gun laws? Hmm. They can't take guns AWAY since no one is allowed to have them...It must be time to put everyone in tightly-controlled work camps to ensure that they stay happy and safe and productive for the State!

If it saves only one child, isn't it worth it?

So it'll be an annual event?

#3 This was the norm in many places in America during the 60's and 70's. Poverty and hopelessness in the inner cities bread violence and retibution.

Gangs were a form of survival. Survival became a life and death struggle. NYC was a hot bed of this but you also saw this in many places.

#5 And on Memorial Day weekend they did big box office numbers.

Yep, some of the most strict unconstitutional gun laws in effect. How's it working out for you.

BTW, there's a lot of places with "poverty and hopelessness", like the Navajo Reservation that straddles a big portion of northern Arizona-New Mexico, but not the level of violence that excuses are made for.

#6 The solution must be to name it something other than gangway.

#7

This is not a Navajo reservation, but it seems it is still 1969.

#8 Well, it seems our country blew tens of thousands of tons of dollar$ on the "War on Poverty."
