<An overseas friend of mine once quipped that "In America, food is not as easily available to the poor as guns are.< Well, I don't think that is quite true. Haven't seen guns being sold at 7-11? Yet! But, OK.. Let's just make it illegal to have a gun.. There you go.. Just like it is in Mexico npr.org Making laws doesn't fix the issue. Marijuana and other drugs are largely illegal in most of the US. There...That should fix the problem.. But, of course it isn't because drugs are as easily available as food is in many areas. Then everyone says.. well, the drug laws are ineffective, so we should just legalize drugs, but then turn around and say that the solution to gun violence is tougher legislation. They somehow convince themselves that the lack of compliance with drug laws by the electorate, will not be appliable to gun laws, It is very wishful thinking. PCSTEL
