The left continues to promote more laws to thwart this problem. The correct way to cull the herd would be an automatic twenty five years incarceration without parole for the use of a gun during the commission of a crime.

See: Paris Bataclan massacre. It shows that the "oh it's because states around Illinois have guns" is BS. Hell, one of those guns came from Obama's "Fast & Furious" debacle waaaay over across an entire ocean.

To be fair, even if you have concealed carry laws you're usually not allowed to take them into concerts, sporting events etc. so it wouldn't have changed anything.
Typically you're not going to have an event with 20k people open carrying, but even if there was, a carefully coordinated attack would cause an absolute total massacre.

The data on offenders also tells a troubling story: Young, Black males are overwhelmingly committing most of the murders. Based on the data on the victims, that means young, Black males are primarily killing other young, Black males. What a terrible situation.

I think you missed the point entirely. The left has the premise that strict gun laws will prevent gun violence. This is obviously not true since Chicago has strict laws and high gun violence.
It is as you said, gang violence is the problem. Not guns.

In fairness Chicago's murder rates aren't really skyrocketing they are just being more accurately reported since Chicago PD was caught red handed doctoring their crime stats in the last 4 years or so.
One of many easy to find sources about this issue - http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/June-2014/Chicago-crime-statistics/

Chicago has their own kind of gun control where blacks control the guns.
