Those are your reasons for gun violence. Instead of bitching about the result why not address the cause. But for that to happen you have to admit that gun violence is not caused by guns.

Please don't support the ebola virus argument. The dems think they have a monopoly on paranoia.

Once AGAIN --- where has anyone said "violence is caused by guns"??

If that's the case, why do we arrest people??

So you cannot answer the question.

That's OK, there's a good reason you can't show it --- you made it up. That's the whole point.

Just as PedFan does with his endless attention-whore threads about how he leaves guns lying around his house and they don't shoot themselves.

He's never been able to answer the same question, for the same reason.

The Dems panic over weapons like they accuse us of panicking over ebola.

The glorification of violence in media and gaming plays a big role too, throw in moral relativism and you have a recipe for disaster.

Are you Liberals certain you want $15.00 an hour to flip hamburgers?

A Comedy of Errors: Sociology Sophism

Drugs seep into every niche in America, and it's shocking what people will do to sustain their drug habit.

It's completely systemic (i.e., obesity, unemployment, juvenile crime, vagrancy, etc.).

You know it's a status symbol for African-American urban gang members to carry guns.

Remember the Wonderland Murders of 1981? I don't since I was only 3, but I saw it in a movie and read about it. It was drug-related and it indirectly led to the collapse of the American porn industry (which began with illustrious celebrities such as Andy Warhol and John Holmes).

I think the thread creator's comments are accurate --- we have to approach crime with a holistic approach.

Why not make the film "Wonderland" [2003] an education aid in classrooms? Kids today already watch unsupervised MTV videos featuring characters glorifying guns and using music to forget the realities of abuse-related self-destruction.
