>> Some countries with the most restrictive gun laws have worse violence than America. Mexico in particular has 1/6 the number of guns per capita compared to America, yet they have a HUGE problem with gun violence. Good point, and the underlying question (Why?) never seems to get an answer from the Left. This argument toward banning guns is total misdirection. There are undoubtedly various causes for the increase in violence, and if one argues that it is all about guns that is a stupid argument. What about first-person shooter video games? What about extreme violence in movies? What about the welfare state (which encourages half-families in which there is no father as a role model), and which breeds contempt for human independence? What about the drug war, which has made inner cities into gangbanger turf? All this stuff is at least as culpable as guns. Some of it is controlled by liberals and could be shut down in a minute if they chose to do so. Yet, the fingers are being pointed at guns. Ultimately, the focus on guns is causing everyone to take their eyes off the ball. And that is why the attack on gun owners can only result in a worsening of the problem.
