If strict gun control would truly solve everything, then why is Chicago such a violent wreck? Over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, 9 people were killed and 44 wounded within the city.

The most publicized murder is that of 7 year old Amari Brown, who was out watching fireworks when he was shot and killed.

Amari Brown was standing on the sidewalk with his father watching a fireworks spectacle just before midnight in the 1100 block of North Harding in the Humboldt Park neighborhood when gunfire erupted, striking Amari and a 26-year-old woman, police said. Both victims were shot in the chest.

The boy’s father said he thought the sound of gunfire was just fireworks, and he didn’t realize Amari had been shot until he called out for him.

Police have announced that whoever shot and killed Amari was probably intending to shoot and kill his father, Antonio Brown.

And despite the ongoing “Black Lives Matter” chant by activists, apparently the taking of this life doesn’t matter much to Antonio Brown.
