CHICAGO: #1 in gun control AND #1 in murder and gang violence #tcot pic.twitter.com/ATAbLwlm · slone

"People do have a right to own a gun," said 27 year old Jody Grant said a resident in the Chicago area.

Gun violence is an enormous issue now in the U.S. and especially in south Chicago areas. Now the question for many Chicagoans wonder what is President Barack Obama doing to get this under control.

"I think there should be certain laws to stop violence," said 40 year old Reshawn Howard a accountant in Chicago.

Washington Post: Women and girls with mental health issues are not picking up semiautomatic weapons and shooting schoolchildren : White men have much to discuss about mass shootings : "Imagine if African American men and boys were committing mass shootings month after month, year after year. Articles and interviews would flood the media, and we’d have political debates demanding that African Americans be “held accountable.” Then, if an atrocity such as the Newtown, Conn., shootings took place and African American male leaders held a news conference to offer solutions, their credibility would be questionable. The public would tell these leaders that they need to focus on problems in their own culture and communities. But when the criminals and leaders are white men, race and gender become the elephant in the room. Nearly all of the mass shootings in this country in recent years — not just Newtown, Aurora, Fort Hood, Tucson and Columbine — have been committed by white men and boys. Yet when the National Rifle Association (NRA), led by white men, held a news conference after the Newtown massacre to advise Americans on how to reduce gun violence, its leaders’ opinions were widely discussed. Unlike other groups, white men are not used to being singled out. So we expect that many of them will protest it is unfair if we talk about them. But our nation must correctly define their contribution to our problem of gun violence if it is to be solved. When white men try to divert attention from gun control by talking about mental health issues, many people buy into the idea that the United States has a national mental health problem, or flawed systems with which to address those problems, and they think that is what produces mass shootings. But women and girls with mental health issues are not picking up semiautomatic weapons and shooting schoolchildren. Immigrants with mental health issues are not committing mass shootings in malls and movie theaters. Latinos with mental health issues are not continually killing groups of strangers. Each of us is programmed from childhood to believe that the top group of our hierarchies — and in the U.S. culture, that’s white men — represents everyone, so it can feel awkward, even ridiculous, when we try to call attention to those people as a distinct group and hold them accountable. For example, our schools teach American history as the history of everyone in this nation. But the stories we learn are predominantly about white men. To study the history of other groups, people have to take separate classes, such as African American history, women’s history or Native American history. And if we take “Hispanic American History,” we don’t expect to learn “Asian American History,” because a class about anyone but white men is assumed not to be inclusive of anyone else. This societal and cultural programming makes it easy for conservative, white-male-led groups to convince the nation that an organization led by white men, such as the NRA or the tea party movement, can represent the interests of the entire nation when, in fact, they predominately represent only their own experiences and perspectives. If life were equitable, white male gun-rights advocates would face some serious questions to assess their degree of credibility and objectivity. We would expect them to explain: What facets of white male culture create so many mass shootings? Why are so many white men and boys producing and entertaining themselves with violent video games and other media? Why do white men buy, sell and manufacture guns for profit; attend gun shows; and demonstrate for unrestricted gun access disproportionately more than people of other ethnicities or races? Why are white male congressmen leading the fight against gun control? If Americans ask the right questions on gun issues, we will get the right answers. These answers will encourage white men to examine their role in their own culture and to help other white men and boys become healthier and less violent."

Should the seconf amendment be pushed, to have people carry guns that are eligible?

With these violent issues facing Chicago residents and even suburban residents, will this voilence ever come to a end?? The politicans should push foward to making solutions to try and putting an end to this maddness.

The race was covered by Ball State students, The Daily News and Ball Bearings Magazine

Both a Twitter and Facebook account were created for participants, students and other members around the community to stay updated on the event
The 5K race also held a fundraiser at Buffalo Wild Wings in Muncie prior to the event

Participants were up and ready to go on the morning of the race
Throughout the race participants stopped at different stations to grab water and/or be showered with neon colored paint. Staff members stood by to record the name of each participant as they crossed the finish line, while also pouring the last of the paint on people
