Now I think gun laws can be better in preventing guns getting in the hands of the wrong person. But this would be putting a small circle band-aid on a gaping wound. They will prevent a few acts of violence perhaps, but that is it.
You get the point that Dino is plugging his ears and saying, nah, nah, nah not to hear. You can't inflate the numbers of "mass shootings" while subsequently ignoring that the inflated number comes from criminal street violence, which also account for the lion's share of homicides in this country.
Quote:There is something much deeper in our American society that attributes to these needless acts of violence, and no one on the left or the right is wanting to talk about, because they know they are to blame to some extent as they are part of the baby boomer generation. The generation that was so eager to change and be more progressive from the WW2 generation, that core values were lost along the way trickling itself downward to today.
Actually, it's not that simple or complex. Violent crime has been steadily dropping since 1992. You are safer now then you were in any year of the 70's or 80's. Why this change in perception? It's because the media is pumping this story up and the Dems are cynically taking it up to paint their opponents as supporters of murder. One need look no further than JJ or the SF city council to see this tactic at work.
