Chicago Tribune asks President to address gun violence.

in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, you said, "If there is even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there is even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try."

If you believe those words, Mr. President, here is a heartfelt suggestion: Come back to your adopted hometown and personally host a summit that grapples seriously with the causes of — and crafts meaningful solutions to — gang violence in America's big cities.
If you are serious about doing everything in your power to curb gun violence and save lives, then you must harness your immense popularity in Chicago — and in other big cities — to address the elephant in the room: the failures of a society grown coarsened, desensitized to violence, and too tolerant of such carnage.
There is one thing you can do, Mr. President. Come home to Chicago. Talk to the kids. If they'll listen to anybody, they'll listen to you.
This guy understands sees through the politics and calls it injustice. What a well written article that gun control fanatics need to read. Please share with those that don't "get it".
