I'm going to leave this article right here. Heartbreaking on so many levels, but kudos to his widow for trying to do something in the face of her loss:

Man, even when your spouse is gunned down you have to "acknowledge" that people in poor neighborhoods are murdered more and have to hope for "solutions." Guess that's the fatalistic attitude you have to adopt when out socializing in DC

A solution: None of those people have any business being out in public. It's a pandemic! Government issued travel papers for everyone.

Honestly, that would be a big help.

That certainly is interesting research, and I do believe that guns and other types of weapons can elicit automatic aggression (the effect in the real world is probably rather small, though). However, less than 1 in 10 crimes committed with a gun is with a gun that was legally purchased: https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/suficspi16.pdf. This suggests that, in the vast majority of cases, people who intend to commit crimes procure guns through illegal methods rather than vice versa

No one cares whether the gun was purchased illegally or legally? The fact that it exists at all is the issue at hand here.

Do you live your entire life according to the emotionalist delusion that you can just wish away “evil” inanimate objects? Hysterical confabulations don’t solve crime problems (or any other problems). Lock up criminals. It ended the crack wars. It will end the gang wars on the street now too. Federal and local prosecution for violent and firearm related crimes, with consecutive sentencing. But there’s no stomach for that.

Fine. I’ll concede that guns aren’t the problem *IF* you’ll admit that you simply want every Black male in the country put in prison.

Deal?

What a preposterous racist response. You should be ashamed of yourself!

Why would a black male get put in prison simply because guns exist? He would only get put in prison if he used the gun in a crime. Your statement makes no sense.

That actually jumped out at me too. Wouldn't wish this on anyone or feel a need to compare... All of this violence is terrible, wrong, and commited by sociopaths wherever in the city it happens.

Because gun nutters are the most racist people on the planet. That’s why.

When you say gun nuttets, I'll assume you mean anyone who actually shoots other people and harms or kills them..

You do realize that many black people lawfully own firearms?

Not just black people. I remember running plenty of 4473's where the race chosen was not White.

That actually jumped out at me too. Wouldn't wish this on anyone or feel a need to compare... All of this violence is terrible, wrong, and commited by sociopaths wherever in the city it happens.

The key question is what makes a sociopath? How much FAMILY failure is involved? How much racism? How much bad schools etc. Let’s examine it all and figure it out. Then, address the problem

Oh we know. It’s been examined to death. Problem is failure to speak the truth and to implement honest solutions

Uh, this thread is about gun violence. I don’t recall any CEOs or corporate board members going on shooting sprees.
