Probably the fucking status quo.

mandatory bail denial and preventing judges from staying sentences on recidivist felons and overhauling any of the absurdly lenient point systems (need an unironic 10 different counts of grand theft auto before you get out of the 'presumptive stayed sentence' guidelines)

I got an offer to move to Chicago with my company and declined.

Abolishing private, for-profit prisons.

Typical gun lovers rebuttal- Let's deflect by mentioning shootings in chicago.

Comparing Chicago's north side to the south side should be a crime in itself.

The homicide rate for the city’s four North Side police districts (the 18th, 19th, 20th and 24th) last year was 3.2 residents per 100,000, according to analysis of data from the University of Chicago Crime Lab—lower than Evanston’s, Champaign’s and Springfield’s, based on data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Overall, Chicago’s per-capita murder rate is higher than in New York City or Los Angeles, but is lower than in Midwestern cities such as Detroit, Milwaukee and St. Louis.

Anyone know why the right only bangs on about chicago when red state memphis has a much higher per capita murder rate?
Chicago is 23rd on the list.
60 percent of weapons found in chicago are bought in neighboring red states, 20% from indiana alone.

And the violence has nothing to do with any of the nonsense getting thrown around, the violence is because tooka and odee perry died and the rap culture that was built around these events caused escalating revenge killings.

One quick look at the racial demographics of those committing the bulk of these crimes in red states and trying to highlight that their red becomes immensely dumb. It's an inner city problem across the board, not a red vs blue state problem.

And yet the only city that the right ever mentions is chicago, for a reason.
