Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot made an impassioned plea for state and federal assistance following the city’s second mass shooting in less than a week, according to ABC News, begging the Biden administration and the Illinois governor’s office for help in quelling the city’s out-of-control gun violence.

Lightfoot focused her request for solutions on the “illegal gun” problem, suggesting that Chicago, which has some of the nation’s strictest gun laws, is suffering because of more lenient gun laws elsewhere and the lack of a uniform federal response to the illicit gun trade.

Weird how tons of other places don’t have problems with guns from elsewhere pouring in.

There’s arse tons of guns in rural Louisiana but people aren’t blasting each other daily like this.

Guess the city ran out of social & mental health workers. Funny that all those cities she references are run by Democratic mayors & D.A.'s

There are no gun stores that a person can BUY a gun in the city limits of Chicago, want to guess how they end up in the hands of all the shooters? (hint-they were not legally acquired)

Edit - and what makes the last 4 days more special than the last 4 years of constant shootings?

Didn’t Trump offer help when in office but she turned it down because of who offered it?

Chicago’s gun violence issues are also not new; Lightfoot rebuffed then-President Donald Trump when he offered to send in federal officials to bolster Chicago’s law enforcement efforts following a shocking mass shooting last summer, per the New York Post, telling reporters that she believed Trump’s “troops” would “terrorize” the city.


So because orange man bad, you allowed your citizens to continue killing each other only to now beg for federal help.

Filth.

Obama had the largest platform in the world to address the black crimes across the United States. He completely sold his soul while ignoring this pressing issue. Now we see the fruits of his labor in his own "Hometown".

frick you Chicago. frick you Lori Lightfoot. Until you start addressing the issues within the community and start with the absence of fathers in the home, you will never have an ounce of sympathy from me. You damn sure are not going to destroy my rights to protect myself and my family over the failure of your own actions.

Man don’t giving those boys up the live in rural areas. You know they lost their guns , on a side note if they hire proper amount of dedicated police and did a sweep of streets of thugs that are wanted in connection with crimes and kicked people off free money if they are found to be criminals then a 50% drop of crimes go POOF

Yep that’s it Lori.
Everyone knows that if gun laws were tougher in other cities, criminals and gangs would suddenly adhere to them!
