A little different post this time, not a news article or anything. Just some excellent points made here.

    Handguns are the primary killer and its inner city youth killing each other.

    How would you solve this state of affairs?

        Maybe we should look to what other developed countries have done to reduce gun crime? Like you, I am at a loss, but others seem to have managed it, so in lieu of a homegrown solution, perhaps someone else has a solution to the problem.

        I am also no fan of Joe Biden, he pushed for that awful racist crime bill in 1994. I mean crime was already decreasing due to a variety of measures and here he come with this truly awful bill and sets us back so far due to its unequal policing and persecution of racial minorities.

        Then again, there are a great many people today who are still pushing for those provably damaging policies to be continued or even expanded. I truly hope those people begin to learn that it is helping people rather than persecuting minorities which will improve things for all of us!
