CHICAGO – Summertime in Chicago, shootings ring out on the South and West sides as gang members execute drug-fueled vendettas. Bodies pile up, and innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire.

 

Still, nothing seems to stop the bullets flying from illegal weapons.

 

* Father Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina on Chicago’s South Side, is trying something new; pressuring the municipalities where he says the illegal guns originate. He and several co-plaintiffs are now suing the Villages of Riverdale, Lyons and Lincolnwood. Each town is home to a gun store that Pfleger claims is lax with oversight for gun purchases.

 

He wants the villages to crack down and prevent “straw purchasing” -- buying weapons in bulk, then selling them into the black market at a profit.

SO IF I’M A CHICAGO SUBURB BEING SUED OVER GUN VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO, my response is going to involve a lot of discovery into the well-documented relationships between Chicago politicians and the street gangs doing the killings.
