    Reduce, control more strictly...

    And yes, the number of guns in a society has an impact on the homicide rate.

    Does the number of people in a concentrated area also have an impact on the murder rate in a society?

    I have been told that the influx of the illegal aliens decreases the crime rate by collectivists at support at open borders and defend illegal immigration.

    Sure.

    But it is a minimal factor compared to gun proliferation.

    Well then we should have banned bows and arrows Millennia ago when people were killing each other with those.

    And didn't London ban guns and their violence skyrocketed and then they banned knives they bend spoons yet how about objects with sharp corners when are they going to ban blunt objects.

    See it isn't the animal that is human that is inherently violent it's just the access to objects that can make him violent. Nobody is ever killed anyone without a weapon it's completely unheard of...

    I would be willing to try a multi-pronged approach, but it would take time, money, and a willingness of the community.

    1) The current budget of the Chicago PD is about $1.5 billion for around 12,000 employees, over 11,000 of whom are sworn officers. I think I would double that budget through an ongoing grant from the federal government, but I would put all of that money under the control of outside trustees whose job it was to insure that all of that money was used to address the violence in the south and west sides of Chicago. It could be used to hire, train, support, and equip 11,000 officers to augment the officers already assigned to those areas, including additional Homicide detectives and Gang Enforcement Unit detectives. The trustees would continually study the structure and operations of the CPD to insure that the money was used for this purpose only. The result would be small sub-stations all over those areas, in neighborhoods, business areas, in the projects, near parks, and in schools, police officers on foot would be common. I would commit federal money for this for 10 years, and then evaluate.

    2) I would pull the financial carpet out from under the gangs. Marijuana for recreational use would become legal through licensed, ordinary retail outlets. It's this way in my state (Oregon), and it hasn't impacted the state or its people negatively. The state actually profits from the taxes on it. Additionally, I would open clinics for heroin, opioid, and crack cocaine addicts where they could receive those drugs free, or, alternately, drug treatment and rehab. Boom! These two measures alone would deprive the gangs of a giant source of income.

    3) Pass tax law that made Chicago an "enterprise zone". The deal would be that if you opened a manufacturing business that employed "x" number of people (maybe 30 or more), your business would pay no property taxes and no state or federal income taxes on profits for at least 10 years. You'd pay for your water and power of course, and your employees would pay their individual taxes. But the business could operate tax free for 10 years, after which time the law would sunset. At that time it could be renewed or modified or ended.

    4) Schools - Schools would be well-policed and safe. Children would receive classes on "Successful Living" from kindergarten to 12th grade. These classes would deal with avoiding drugs, gangs, and crime. It would cover the influence of advertising, music and entertainment. It would deal with sex, birth control, the consequences of pre-marital parenthood, and the benefits of one day forming your own two-parent family. It would deal with money: how to manage it, how not to waste it, and how to set oneself up to make good money in the future. And it would deal with how to treat others as an important part of the pathway to success.

    No you see the animal that is man does not have a violent nature. All the wars and stuff that occurred for the entirety of human existence because there are weapons.

    Donald Trump went back in time and gave you a caveman probably a white caveman a blunt object and pointed to a darker complected caveman and said to the caveman in caveman language because mr. Trump is fluent, see that dark caveman over there you have to keep him from getting your berries and whatever other plants you dug up to eat and by his nature he wants to take them so if you use this kill that caveman it'll never happen.

    When you can't make an arguments against somebody are you point out that grammar.

    The funniest thing is when these Grammar Nazis call you out on bad grammar and then make mistakes.

    Sounds like Nazi Germany to me and it will to the collectivist living in there. The solution lies if you really want to know and I will tell you this post if you're going to totally like know the solution if you read this s***. I can't give it a name that you would grass but I can tell you that it would be like the projects on steroids. Star Trek Deep Space Nine has a great episode about this. The final solution to poverty

    I hear you guys but riding him on his Grammy Nazism is not the point. 100 years from now on people want to know what happened in this Century they will read these threads and conclude that the left is dumb
