Those that preach the panacea of a society without violence often use legitimate people as whipping boys for their targets. Legal gun owners for example. Their twisted logic states that guns are evil, and that it is the gun that makes the person do evil things.
Those very same people expose the rest of us to extreme violence, and make it tough, if nor outright illegal to effectively defend ourselves. They make laws that create free fire zones for criminals and social misfits. Like schools, parks and so on. People that inhabit such places are turned into cannon fodder by other people that care little for anything other than their agenda. Such measures may have started out as well intentioned but the evidence is more than clear after so many mass shootings that the law of unintended consequences beats intentions every time.
So then, just who is it that commits most gun crime? A tiny minority are sociopaths that shoot up schools, malls and other public places. By far though, the vast majority are gang related. It is a sad fact of life that in America gangs are just about everywhere. Money is the driving force behind most of the violence, and innocent people get caught in these cross fires as groups vie for territory or “street cred.”
Drugs, and the lucrative profits from dealing that the ongoing drug war bolsters are most often tied to gun violence. At least according the the alphabet soup agencies. A recent CNN article pointed out that nearly all gun violence is gang related. So why then are so many different people, and organizations hell bent on disarming the rest of the population?
It could be blamed on mental illness, and many of the anti rights types are clearly hopolophobics. I think though, that is simply that old game of control. They want control of your life, and through that, your death.

Outstanding points in this post. It seems that gun-control is based on the indefensible theory that if one disarms oneself, one will be safer. This is, of course, just as ludicrous as, for example, appeasing Hitler in 1938 during the talks in Munich between Chamberlain (sp?) and Adolph. That was a type of gun-control. To disarm is to open the floodgates to the Trojan Horse.

Gun violence has nothing to do with the gun itself. It’s leftist propaganda that is contrary to EVERYTHING the Founders said. If this country does not wake up, people like myself will be ready to join the next revolution.
I saw a great story on this at http://www.leftrightnews.com You should link that story.
