How do we turn instances of violence around?

People say protesting doesn’t work, people say praying doesn’t work people say only bringing in the National Guard will stop the violence. Does it take a military force to stop the violence in the city of Chicago? What does that say about us? People say violence is a financial problem, people say violence is a moral problem I think we all agree that it’s a problem but what are we going to do about it? People say guns are the problem, people say guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Will having stricter gun laws help or will they only create an additional hurdle for law abiding citizens while the criminals who are doing the killing easily get guns?  These are all questions that we need to answer. Stopping the violence is not a one stop solution.
