Fatherless homes are the problem, not guns.....

[Smokin' OP]

Such as ritual suicicide?

NO.

Imagine half a million otherwise sane GI’s in the Pacific War eagerly dying for their supreme ruler FDR like loyal Kamikaze’s

That was 80 years ago.

You cant?

Neither can I

since pathetic Joe became president...who doesnt often wish they were dead

We lock up 2 million people. Locking people up isn't an answer.

Most gun murders are domestic and acquaintance violence.

Gang murders are less than 13% of all homicides committed.

No....the democrats release the most violent, repeat gun offenders over and over again no matter how many times they commit gun felonies........letting them back out diminishes the effect of temporarily locking them up, you doofus....

Gangs and Violence​

Armstrong: Let’s turn to questions of where crime is coming from in our country. How much violent crime takes place in the subset of the population we would typically associate with the gang culture?

Kleck: In places like Chicago or Los Angeles, it’s a huge fraction of it. It varies enormously from place to place. It may well be that half or more of the gun homicides in those cities are gang related. But in most places in America, it’s a somewhat more modest fraction.

We don’t have national figures that are of any use.

For what it’s worth, in the FBI uniform crime reports data, they do have a category for the circumstance in which the crime was committed. One possible box that local police can check in filling out the homicide reports for the FBI could indeed be for gang-related. But the problem is that the FBI forms require police to check just one circumstance. So if a guy belongs to a gang, and he was selling drugs, and he has a dispute with his customer over the price, and then they get into an argument and one shoots the other, that could go into any of three or four different categories, only one of which is gang-related. So those data are useless.



What we’re stuck with are local estimates, and, as I say, it varies enormously from one locality to another. It’s a huge percentage in a couple of cities. Chicago and Los Angeles have really bad street-gang problems. On the other hand, in Peoria it’s probably a relatively small fraction, certainly well under half.

We lock up 2 million people. Locking people up doesn't help.

Doesn't solve most of the murders, which are regular folks who had an argument that went too far.
