In Chicago, the only way one can prevent violent gun crimes is to LIE? how can we go about this a better way?

Question

Well the issue is that i stay in a neighborhood where a lot of these guys( guys that's are in some kind of gang or crew) freely walk around with their guns on them. a friend of mine was shot in an attempted robbery gone wrong, in which these guys, who dont have cars, just walk around, they have these weapons on them in the open.

these guys,who tried to rob my friend, are stillwakingg around, with weapons and the police cant do anything cause you have to see them with a gun and onewouldn'tt want to lie and say that they have one and youhaven'tt be

cause if theydon'tt have a gun , one may get in trouble with the police.

i understand this cause police just cant go and go searching people with no reason(even though they do anyway)

SO my question is, can i form an org. that serve as a security focre, that would be present 24/7 , being able to confront and check(not breaking the law as such, but confronting these thugs firmly and respectfully, making them think twice about having a gun on them and also from commiting gun crimes within a given area due to the high present of the security force)

WOULD THIS NOT WORK????

Answer 1

You cannot just go about and form a security force.  What you are talking about is essentially creating a new gang.

Answer 2

No, you cannot violate someones civil rights for the same reason the police cannot.  It sounds like your community is the victim of weak criminal punishment.  Unfortunately, our entire country is victim to this same weak stance on crime.  You can thank bleeding heart liberals and Christians for that.  In the meanwhile you will just have to be better armed, better trained and better prepared.
