Because of the gun violence in urban communities, many who live there have concluded that tighter controls on the availability of fire arms is necessary. I wonder if the increase in gun violence in rural and suburban communities will drive them to a similar conclusion?
No, because both are wrong. Many of those urban communities where the crimes occur are already in cities that have strict gun control. Without practically yanking them from the hands of law-abiding citizens, how do you plan to get them out of the criminal's hands?
Gift Cards for guns?
Groceries for guns?
More restrictions on gun ownership?
None of these will stop a criminal from using a gun in a crime.
Why don't we try addressing the underlying problem that leads people to turn to crime?
Hopelessness, Poverty, Joblessness...
See, here's the thing I always wonder about. We spend billions, now trillions, of dollars every year "fighting poverty" and it hasn't done a damn bit of good.
Why? Because they don't really want to win. That's a voting block for the Democratic party. So they're offered the occasional table scraps to keep them loyal. All while reminding them that Republicans don't like black people. Which seems true most of the time.
Anyway. Why not take some of this stimulus money into the ghettos and hoods across the country. Build the factories for the solar and wind energy equipment. Build factories that make the equipment to retrofit homes to solar or wind energy.
The money is already there. The federal reserve has already created it out of thin air. What's the sense in not spending it where it will really do some good? If you're going to continue bankrupting the nation, at least try to make something good come of it.
My guess is that the Family had an "Intervention"
"Get a job or get out of my house"
