I don’t know how armed citizens are going to stop the gang conflicts, unless you propose blanketing the city with roving armed vigilante patrols. I support the 2nd Amendment and hate gun control too.

Gang conflicts are only a small part of the violent crime problem in places like Chicago. The police already have SWAT units that are more than capable of gunning down gangbangers who are fighting a shooting war in the streets, should they ever be so stupid as to fight what amounts to a real battle in the streets. There is no need to add to the average cop’s existing armaments.
