Gun deaths are principally caused by suicide.First of all, who's we? Second of all, your definition is inadequate, to say the least. As I said, it's silly, in response to a very serious subject.A silly thread, as every thread I've ever read about gun violence has been. People on both sides of the question talking past one another. No one defining the problem properly and no one advancing a thoughtful approach.
Step one: Is there a problem with gun violence in the USA? If so, what is it, precisely?
Unless both sides of the issue can agree that there is a problem, and can agree on what exactly that problem is, discussing solutions is a waste of time.
We have defined the problem. the Criminal culture in the United STates…..they use guns to murder each other at high rates. The normal gun culture….doesn't.
How do you reduce gun crime among criminals….?
No. The definition is very accurate. 80% of all violent crime is committed by black and Hispanic gang members. That is not in doubt. The "gun culture" is not the problem. The problem is the violent culture imported into our country from the third world by those very same gangbangers.
Suicide is caused by mental illness...drug use, or alcohol abuse.......deal with the actual problem.
