In reference to another gang
shooting, somebody said yesterday, “Gun violence is almost non-existent in
countries with gun-control laws.”
My extensive reading of Dick
Francis novels has informed me that even in countries with fewer guns, there’s still
gang violence. So I wondered how gangs in other countries got their results.
Then I thought, well, maybe
politicians here who don’t favor gun-control laws could research the
issue. Then they could say to gang leaders, “Hey, in order get people off our
backs about gun control, could you turn to [knives, chains, etc.] and leave the
guns out of it?”
That wouldn’t solve the issue of
firearms used in domestic violence incidents, of course, or stop people with mental
problems from using them; but I’m sure that if the politicians really gave it
some thought, they could come up with something.
