Mandatory gun ownership for all Chicagoans, stand your ground laws, and castle doctrine. There's legal precedent for requiring citizens to purchase goods in services in the way Obamacare was required. We create a new tax, and if you can prove you own a gun you get a tax credit.
The first year will be a bit rocky, but after that the worst offenders will be removed from the planet.

I haven't seen evidence that this is an effective strategy, though there's not really compelling evidence in either direction. At the very least, I can argue that this should be tested thoroughly before implementation in Chicago. On a personal level, I really do not want to be made responsible for killing anyone, though I expect your response is that enough people would be willing to kill a person that there would be a kind of herd immunity. I also do not believe in the death penalty, even for murder. Accordingly, I disagree with this plan wholeheartedly, exactly to the degree that it is effective.
- Consultant32452 6y agoBelieving that a person has a right to defend themselves is wholly unrelated to support of the death penalty. I don't support the death penalty either. But if you break into my house and try to kill me, I'm going to try to kill you first. Firearms are the great equalizer. Removing them just puts women in the position of being submissive and/or victimized by larger, stronger men.
