Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is continuing her ineffective and ill-advised strategy of reducing violent crime by declaring war on “illegal guns,” announcing on Thursday a new million-dollar fund that will pay people for tips about where to find those guns and the people possessing them.
“We are calling on our residents to overcome your fears, to no longer be hesitant to report the presence of illegal firearms,” Lightfoot said.
Mayor Lightfoot said more specific details will be released later. She also said the city is making progress on [cr]ime.
“This statistical progress is cold comfort to the individuals and neighborhoods who are still living in daily fear,” Lightfoot said.
