This is fixable. The means required won’t be to everyone’s liking, and the scale upon which they will have to be enacted will give some pause, because the problem, which one of the political parties sees not as a problem but as a useful tool, has been subsidized for sixty years with trillions of dollars of taxpayer money. But it is fixable. We don’t have to live like this.

If gangs are warring what does the tool matter?
There are plenty of guns flowing around south of the border from endless coups, failed revolutions, civil wars and the drug trade yet the gangs down there love using machetes to hack off limbs and make social media videos of their barely alive limbless victims teetering like Weebles.

So they’re saying we need more of that here?

“…but make no mistake, the true culprit and relentless engine of this violence is guns.” [since the tone appears to be about illegal acts of ‘murder’ and other illegal violent acts]

False. Not because guns were used, but because no gun made them do it – or in other words the driver is criminally minded and mentally ill people choosing to commit violence. If guns were the ‘engine’, these people would be perfectly sane and not criminally minded but rather forced to do it by the existence of guns – yet in 100% of all such cases we find, once examined, a ‘motive’ that was person-derived that drove them to commit their heinous acts thus that is the ‘engine of this violence’. For example, Charlie Kirks murderer did not murder him because a gun existed, he murdered him because he wanted to – and its the same “From Stockton to a San Jose mall” along with all the others, they did it because they wanted to do it for some personally derived reason.

This statement – “…but make no mistake, the true culprit and relentless engine of this violence is guns.” – is 100% false.

Ever since caveman Ogg discovered he could get what he coveted from caveman Grogg by using ‘violence’ with some sort of ‘weapon’ this has been going on. But, forward to modern times, on a criminal and mental illness violence level, today and for the last 60 years since such tracking has taken place, overall accounting for types of violent criminal or mental illness acts, firearms use is actually rare in the acts of these groups with non-firearm ‘weapons’ use outnumbering firearms use 1000:1. For example, the latest was criminal gang-violence against a rapper, yet gangs commit hundreds of acts of violence every day across the United States without using a gun – so basically this was common gang related crime in a blue state that refuses to suitably address criminal gangs and actually emboldens them allowing them to thrive by its ‘soft on crime’ policies.
