"It's All Gang Violence"

That's what politicians say about the fact that the gun violence against cops in Chattanooga is more than TWICE that of other comparable cities. But I say,  “So what? Gang violence is just like violence from other sources.” Gun violence with ILLEGALLY-owned guns will NOT be stopped by disarming honest, law-abiding people. A description that does NOT describe gang members, who NEVER have legally owned guns. Disarming honest people leaves the way open for ILLEGALLY-armed gang members, who WILL take advantage of it. I'm not sure what the gun laws are like in that city. I Googled it, but there were no entries for that. But I suspect they are the same kind of gun laws as are all over this country. If not, it would be news—at least, for the non-liberal media. Which, I'm sure, contributes to these numbers. And it doesn't matter if it's ALL “gang violence.” Gun violence is gun violence. Calling it “gang-related” is usually “code” for “We'll never solve it,” just as “Mafia connected” used to mean the same. (Times-Free Press)
