This is pretty weak. It offers NO solutions, and just throws out dog whistles.

If it is Lightfoot's fault, what happened in the other 327 mass shootings this year?

Gun violence and mass shootings are two different animals. And just to clarify, 8 of the top 10 states for murder rate by guns are red states. The top 3 are all red states. Notice I said RATE not numbers of shootings when you have a city like Chicago that has more residents than 6.7 million than states like Wyoming (500K) it is not much of a surprise that Chicago has more deaths by gun fire. Illinois has 14/100,000 while Wyoming (25.9/100,000), Alabama (23/100,000), Missouri (23.9/100,000) - so, I just have to ask what do all those blue states have in common as opposed to those red states? (besides color) they have stronger gun control laws in Blue states.
