Native Sons, a community group in Chicago, asked Chicago’s gangs to refrain from engaging in their firefights from 9 in the morning until 9 in the evening. This community group feels that if their request is implemented, safety would improve. Native Sons wants to reduce the chances that innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire.<\/p>\n

“We have to start somewhere,” Native Sons co-founder Tatiana Atkins told CWBChicago. “Our goal is to approach our city’s gun violence problem strategically and not all at once. Things didn’t become this way overnight, and change won’t happen overnight.”<\/p>\n

“Under this ordinance, we ask that people stop associating with and glorifying’ shooters,’ stop glorifying ‘switches,’ and stop wearing those ski masks everywhere which perpetuates you as some ‘opp,'” Atkins said. “When those who live a certain lifestyle try to hang with ‘regular’ class citizens, they put everyone at risk.”<\/p>\n

Along with the time limits, the ordinance called on Chicagoans to stop glorifying gangsters and gangsters to stop trying to “hang with ‘regular’ class citizens,” thereby putting everyone at risk.<\/p>\n

“If people know that after a certain hour, the likelihood of them being shot by an unknown and unprovoked assailant are at a higher risk,” Atkins suggested, “they will be less likely to be out and about, and they may become more proactive with the supervision of their children.”<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, five-year-olds are being killed by gun violence, 14-year-olds are being killed by gun violence, 78-year-olds are being killed by gun violence, pregnant women are being killed by gun violence, young boys with bright futures are being killed by gun violence, fathers are being killed by gun violence, and this shouldn’t be happening,” Atkins said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
