Is it just jawboning while continuing more of the status quo from Kim Foxx, the Team Soros prosecutor who didn’t prosecute?  Or is the new State’s Attorney Eileen Burke really going to crack down on criminals?

According to the Sun-Times she’s going to crack down on gun criminals.  Is that George from the suburbs who has a flash suppressor on his carry pistol (a no-no under the PICA gun ban) that she’s going to “crack down” upon?  Sort of like her predecessor?  Or will this be the gang bangers running around brazenly toting full-auto Glocks and all manner of hardware?  Oh yeah, the same gang bangers who are shooting people left and right…

From the Sun-Times:

Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke vowed Monday to crack down on gun criminals as she takes the reins as the top law enforcement official in a county she says is “being overshadowed by crime.”

“We have unparalleled opportunities here. We have world-class universities, we have infrastructure. We even have a fresh water supply,” O’Neill Burke said after a ceremonial swearing-in as the county’s top prosecutor before hundreds of supporters at the Ivy Room in River North.

“We are primed to boom, but we are being overshadowed by crime right now,” she said. “While our crime rates are beginning to come down, the progress is not sufficient, particularly when it comes to gun violence.”

Time will tell.

We’ll be watching.
