It sickens my soul to watch the daily reports of gun violence out of Chicago.

The day-to-day drumbeat of death gets overshadowed by reports of mass shootings, but it is far more lethal and damaging to communities.

This situation is always on the back burner. For some reason it is politically controversial. I am glad the government is partnering with local groups to stop the carnage.
