It may sound \u200bunconventional,\u2062 but the idea \u200cis gaining traction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maria Hadden, a Chicago alderwoman, recently sent an \u2063email promoting a proposal from a group called Native Sons. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chicago-dem-promotes-solution-for-insane-homicide-rate-ask-gangs-to-only-shoot-at-night\/\" title=\"Chicago Democrat proposes solution to high homicide rate: Encourages gangs to limit shootings to nighttime.\">proposal urges \u200cgang members<\/a> to restrict their shooting\u2063 activities to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-state-legislature-passes-fetal-heartbeat-abortion-bill\/\" title=\"Texas state legislature passes fetal heartbeat abortion bill\">specific time frame<\/a>: between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. It&#8217;s \u200ba small step towards curbing the violence that has \u2062plagued the city for far too long.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe have \u200dto start somewhere,\u201d says Tatiana\u200d Atkins, \u200dco-founder of Native Sons. \u201cOur goal is to approach our city\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gangs-in-chicago-asked-not-to-commit-shootings-during-the-daytime\/\" title=\"Chicago gangs urged to refrain from daytime shootings.\">gun violence problem strategically<\/a> and not all \u200cat\u2064 once. Things didn\u2019t become this way overnight and change won\u2019t happen overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Under\u200b this\u200d proposed ordinance, gang members would be encouraged to disassociate from the culture of violence.\u2064 They would be asked to stop glorifying\u200b shooters, abandon the use of dangerous &#8220;switches&#8221; that turn handguns into automatic weapons, and refrain from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mobs-rob-three-san-francisco-area-stores-in-three-days\/\" title=\"Mobs Rob Three San Francisco Area Stores In Three Days\">wearing ski masks<\/a> that perpetuate a\u200b sense of fear and danger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u200dhope is that by creating a clear distinction\u2062 between the day and night, potential victims will be more cautious and proactive in protecting themselves and their loved ones. Tatiana Atkins emphasizes \u200cthe urgency of the \u2064situation, stating, \u201cAt the end of \u2063the day,\u2064 gun violence is claiming the\u200b lives of people \u200dfrom all walks of life, from innocent children \u200dto fathers and even elderly individuals.\u200b This must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surprisingly,\u2062 the response to this proposal has been somewhat positive. Atkins reveals,\u200b \u201cI myself have reached out to active \u2063gang members in regards to this ordinance\u2063 and have had more positive feedback than \u200cnegative. Some have \u200deven shared the ordinance on their\u200b social media platforms. It&#8217;s a small step, but it&#8217;s a step \u2062in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A City in Crisis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The urgency to address Chicago&#8217;s homicide crisis cannot be \u200boverstated. According to a February 2023 report, the city had the highest number of homicides \u2063among major cities in the United States \u200bin 2022. \u2063With a staggering total\u2063 of 697\u200d homicides,\u200b Chicago surpassed cities like Philadelphia, New York City, Houston, and Los Angeles. Shockingly, this \u2063marked the 11th consecutive year that Chicago led the nation in\u2062 homicides.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It&#8217;s clear that bold and innovative solutions are needed to combat this ongoing tragedy. While the proposal to\u2064 restrict shootings to specific \u2062hours may seem unconventional, it represents a step towards change. By rallying behind this ordinance, media, government officials, \u2064and community residents can send a powerful message: enough is enough. Together, we can make a difference\u2062 and create a safer Chicago for \u2062all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chicago Democrat politician proposed a unique solution to the city&#8217;s high homicide rate: urging gang members to limit shootings to evenings.
