Gun ownership in Hyde Park Kenwood study shows rise in homes
Civic Disarmament survey of 820 students in six local schools finds 54.7 percent live in homes with at least one gun. Laura Fermi explains fear drives handgun purchases. Chicago records show rising handgun murders and robberies from 1965 to 1971. The group argues for broad buyback, stricter laws, or education programs for youths to address handgun violence.
