YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Chicago Police Department in on pace to take more than 12,000 guns off Chicago streets this year, a record number that includes guns ranging from pistols to assault rifles. 2021 is on pace to be the deadliest year in Chicago in nearly a quarter century with shootings up 67% compared to pre-pandemic levels. What is being done to confront this spike in violence in Chicago? What factors drive the shootings in Chicago and spiking violence? Why are there so many guns in Chicago when the city and state have some of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws?

Please join U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Chicago), a leading advocate for gun control legislation in Congress, and Roseanna Ander, executive director of the UChicago Crime Lab, as they unpack the topic of raging gun violence bedeviling Chicago. The Chicago Tribune’s Annie Sweeney will moderate the conversation.
