Ted re <<There is good evidence that strong gun laws work and reduce the murder rate in a society.>> That is debatable. California has the strictest gun control laws in the nation and is among the worse in the violent crime category. Also Australia banned all guns in the early 90's, since then violent crime, and more importantly murders using guns has steadily increased. Re << we are a society that has become heavily urbanized with both paid police forces>> I don't know about you but I have very little faith in police. In a study done by FBI in 1995, overwhelming majority of criminal who broke into people houses cited "armed resident" as the number one deterrent. Clearly we are doing a whole lot of things wrong when we have school shooting such as today few miles from here, or when the richest country in the world has such high violent crime rate. But blaming the NRA or guns is nothing but a picking a scapegoat. No one has all the answer but requiring more discipline in schools as you suggested, or restricting violent rap lyrics as John suggested, is a good start. Mani
