Fed up with the rising violence in Chicago, Illinois State Rep. Mary Flowers (D-31st) Saturday announced she is introducing a bill that would include a GPS tracking device in all guns.

 

“This would work the same way as our cell phones that way we will know where the guns are coming from and who has it,” said Flowers. “We will then know the good vs. the bad,” she said during a WE CAN, INC. Committee meeting held at Hardtimes Josephine’s Restaurant, 436 E. 79th St.

 

Flowers made her remarks a week after the funeral of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton. “Where are these guns coming from,” asked Flowers. Until we cut off the gun supply, this violence will continue.

 

“The only way this violence will end is for these youth to get a job, and get a better educational system,” said Flowers who explained she is having the bill drafted.

 

“We know all of the good people who are law abiding citizens, but we don’t know the bad guys.”

 

Referring to her bill, Flowers said, “All guns would have a tracking mechanism,” Flowers stated.
