[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guns are banned in dc. Even if guns were federally banned accross the country, these incidents would still occur. And even if it wasn’t a gun they would use a knife to work out their street beefs [/quote] Right. There are different types of violence, and they need different types of solutions. Gun safety laws help with domestic violence, suicide, and mass shootings, but since the overwhelming majority of guns used in community (street) violence are illegal, more laws don't help. What is proven to help is focused deterrence, a combination of prevalent law enforcement presence, known consequences for illegal possession/use, and wrap-around community/health/social service supports to help people disengage from violent lifestyles. That means police, prosecutors, and health services agencies have to work together.[/quote] +100000[/quote]
