Behind the troubling statistics, flashing lights and crime tape, communities throughout the city are searching for solutions.

"There's no magic spell that can end it. It's a matter of people and neighborhoods coming together and deciding that it's not going to happen," said neighbor Robert Grider.

Larry Pickens, who is running in the special election in the 2nd Congressional seat, offered a few suggestions Thursday: "Teaching our young people alternative dispute resolution, non-violent strategies for addressing conflict and getting guns off the street."

There is no magic spell that would eliminate gun deaths. But I'd imagine putting up a few billboards along the roads leading in to Chicago that read . . . :

WARNING CRIMINAL ELEMENTS: CITIZENS ARMED AND WILL SHOOT TO DEFEND LIFE AND PROPERTY

. . . might cut down on some of the crime.

That would mean they learned something from the '20s. Can't have that.

Was just going to say this. I'm glad making handguns illegal solved the problem of gun violence.

Only because the highrise apt complexes are usually where the gangs do their business. You have to be buzzed into those places, so cops wave a big ole red flag when they come through the door. lol
