Today the Sun Times come up with a remarkable cover: a mirror image. Is it a first ever for Sun Times? This is a strong message indicating we can't turn our backs on gun violence.
Although I didn't actually buy a copy to read the details, I read it online. The END is near for newspapers? (Ok, that's another topic). The gun violence over the first warmer weekend of the year is troubling. When it gets warm, tensions heat up and people start shooting(!). We have streets of terror in Chicago! But just what we can do about it? Ban guns?! Time and time again we hear arguments like this: crooks will ALWAYS able to get guns. But look, at least make it harder, ok?
One cop says on TV, "why on earth are we allowing people to own AK47?" You've got a valid point, officer.
How do we curb the violence? More patrols on street of course... That seems to be best approach. Waita minute are we creating a Baghdad right here at home?
It is said to realize that we can't control violence over there in Baghdad and we can't control it here at home.
I do not agree with Virginia Tech students who want to bring a gun to classroom either. John Wayne and the Old West stay in black/white VHS tapes (or digitally re-mastered DVD)
Gun controls must be stronger. Unfortunately after case after case of violence still NO one is serious about it, until perhaps 500 die a day to get enough attention.
The next day the Sun Times is back to its nomal front page.
