Tech more secure a year after massacre,” USA Today promotes lies and the exact feel good head in the sand mindset that helped a sick man kill 32 innocent people a year ago.

Op-Ed: City of Chicago misfires on gun violence

12:05am Wednesday, April 30, 2008
By Steve Chapman When a rash of gun murders takes place , it makes sense for the police to do one of two things: renew tactics that have been effective in the past at curbing homicides, or embrace ideas that have not been tried before.

Baus Last September, anti-gun Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, in a continuing struggle to get ahead of the public relations debacle he faces while presiding over a significant increase in homicides in 2007, and seeking to justify his use of taxpayer resources on a go-it-alone court challenge of HB347 , a state law which preempts local gun control laws, launched another salvo in his...
