CHICAGO | Pulling a page from former Indiana Gov. Evan Bayh's playbook, two Illinois legislators are calling for the Illinois National Guard to help Chicago fight the rising tide of gun violence in the city.
State Reps. John Fritchey and LaShawn Ford, both Chicago Democrats, made the proposal at a news conference Sunday, noting that 113 people have been killed in Chicago so far this year. Fritchey said U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan had suffered precisely the same number of deaths in the same time period.
"The unfortunate reality is that we have another war that is just as deadly taking place right in our backyard," Fritchey said. "Is this a drastic call to action? Of course it is. But is it warranted when we are losing residents to gun violence at such an alarming rate?
