On Board Control

How did these children gain possession of the boards they used to kill Albert Derrion? How can the City of Chicago even allow anyone to possess a board? Let alone children? Did the children purchase the boards? Legally?

It's possible. It appears that anyone can buy a board. No restrictions. No training required. No forms to fill out identifying the purchaser of the board. No regulations to confirm the intended use of the board is legal nor that the board purchaser has the need and/or wherewithal to use the board legally.

On the other hand, there is good reason to suspect that Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley will take swift action to remedy this situation.
