Gangs and Suicide

Those are the two most frequent causes of “gun violence,” with gang activity being the most prevalent. Suicide is a horrible thing, but I fail to see how any law would stop someone who truly wishes to kill himself from doing it. How are you going to punish him/her? He/she is dead. Gang activity is responsible for 80% of “gun crime.” Gang members are already breaking the law, so what do they care about breaking one more law? One that says they can’t be armed when they commit their other crimes? So at whom are all those anti-gun laws aimed? The law-abiding, of course. But the law-abiding don’t commit crimes, as a rule. Any that do are an exception. So how do all those anti-gun laws expect to stop “gun crime” by limiting the right to be armed for the law-abiding, while the lawless go right on getting their guns illegally? So why do gullible politicians succumb to the behest of the anti-gun fools and make more and more unenforceable, useless anti-gun laws? The only purpose I can see it that these politicians are either stupid or they are dictator wannabes who are frightened by an armed populace. They are “hedging their bets” for later, when they hope to come for what isn’t theirs, and they want to meet as few guns in the hands of their potential victims as possible. (Truth About Guns)
