one of those we lost was a young girl named hadiya pendleton. hadiya's parents nate and cleo are in this chamber tonight along with more than two dozen parents whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. they deserve a vote. >> and he said we as a country owe the victims of gun crime. some resolution. hadiya's parents. gabriel giffords, the children in newtown, the children from the theater shooting in colorado. he said we owe these people. so what happened to that debt? >> the fact that he laid it out with such force tells me that he really believed it was going to happen and that he fel felt this a new measure a new yardstick. but the republicans locked arms and because the national rifle association suddenly became more conservative than it has in the past, the sides become more hardened, more polarized and president obama ran into a fierce bark lash that he wasn't expecting. >> he said $9 minimum wage. >> let's declare that in the greatest nation on earth no one should have to liver in poverty and -- live in poverty and raise the minim

>> the death of hadiya pendleton touched a nerve open a national level. suddenly everyone from jesse jackson to the president himself were talking about the violence on the chicago south side. what took so long? what happened to hadiya happened to hundreds of teens in chicago and it's been happening for years. i visited a grass roots organization in the heart of chicago's south side to get a sense of what life has been like here over the course of the last year. suddenly the national spotlight was on the south side of chicago after hadiya pendleton was killed. how did you feel about the spotlight being shined on chicago at that time? >> it made me angry. >> why is that? >> because as you can see since 2010, we have been saying our youth is out here dying and there's nobody out here doing anything about it. because we tend to live in a society where adults care more if they agree with you, and your lifestyle, then they'll be more concerned, nea they'll be more compassion at. but there's no concern for any 15, 14, 13-year-old boys that are losing their life

an example, the man accused of killing pendleton who mccarthy says would have been in prison if illinois gun penalties were stronger. >> her alleged killer pled guilty to illegal possession of a firearm in november of 2012 and killed her in january of 2013. >> reporter: still, things are better, and most people on the south side of chicago we talked to say they have noticed a difference. >> it has slowed down, though. it has slowed down. >> reporter: is it getting better? >> yes, it is getting better. >> it's kind of all coming together in one monstrous thunder clap, and the goal is to keep making it better. >> make sure you guys watch each other's backs, okay? have a good night. be safe. >> reporter: ted rowlands, cnn, chicago. >> chicago isn't the only big city that's seen a drop in homicides. also on the list, new york, detroit, los angeles and philadelphia. so what's behind it all? joining me now is a criminologist, jack levin from northeast oouuniversity. good to see, jack. >> thank you, fredericka. >> yeah. there were a lot of predictions within the last five years of crime rates s

mark kirk likes to call it the hadiya pendleton act. we named the key section after her because we think this legislation might reduce the senseless gang shootings like the one that took her life. straw purchasing is when the girlfriend of a thug who has no criminal record goes to buy the gun to hand to him to commit a crime. he can't buy it, couldn't walk in the store and buy it. could never bass h. pass the background check. she did. when she passes it, she hands him a gun and unfortunately violence and death can be the result. last april our antitraffickings legislation got 58 votes on the floor of the senate. 58 votes to stop the trafficking of guns into the hand of criminals. that's a few votes short of what we needed. we're close. our job is to convince just two or three more senators to join us. the pendelton family understands that even though this law seems so o obvious, so reasonable and can save the lives of innocent people, it is going to be hard to come by. there is a gun lobby here in this town. they're very powerful. and

. >> reporter: and there were several stories including the killing of 15-year-old hadiya pendleton. >> she was shot and killed in a chicago park after school. just a mile away from my house. >> reporter: the biggest problem still facing chicago is illegal guns. and the lack of accountability for those caught with one. an example, the man accused of killing pendleton who mccarthy says would have been in prison had the gun policies been stronger. >> her alleged killer pled guilty to illegal possession of a firearm in 2012 and killed her in january of 2013. >> reporter: still things are better. and most people we talked to say they have noticed a difference. >> it has sloeds down, though. it has slowed down. >> is it getting better? >> yes, it is. it's getting better. >> it's kind of all coming together. and the fellow is to keep making it better. >> make sure you guys watch each other's backs. have a good night. be safe. >> reporter: cnn, chicago. >> thank you for that reporting. so happy january 1st, 2014. guess what? your gift today. obamacare. the coverage begins today. but not so
