[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, so here's the thing about the gun argument. [b]Guns proliferate in other communities, but they don't seem to share in the violence that overtakes some cities/communities. Simply saying "GUNS" is simplistic and doesn't come close to identifying deep problems that you probably don't want to discuss anyway.[b]

Also, Australia. Yeah, an island nation that would be pretty easy to seal off from illegal weapons. The USA, not so much. Not to be cliche, but it really applies: when you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. That's just how it is with porous borders and many, many guns in circulation. It's a pipedream if you think we could outlaw guns and get rid of "gun violence" at the same time. [/quote]

+1. Yep. There are plenty of communities with lots of guns, but not all of them are as violent as DC. So there is something else going on, but I think people are afraid to have that conversation. [/quote]

Absolutely correct.... and absolutely *desperate* to avoid that unpleasant conversation.[/quote]
