Another Gun Control Study

Xiahou already identified the problem, and we can't very well ship them back to Africa at this point.

That is a bad guess.

Oh that's great, now that you're past racism in the USA I guess that's also okay to say.

Hold your horses!

It is the breakdown of the family unit and the rise of a gangster culture if we are tossing out theories. A lack of positive male role models.

This may be more prevalent among modern black males but it is not exclusive to them.

Subcultures that celebrate lawlessness and whacking ones enemies while going out in a blaze of glory.

Instilling such ideals and reinforced by peer pressure is not going to make for a peaceful crime free social network. A society were the heroes shun education, by dropping out of school to get rich selling drugs and killing off the competition (literally) is not going to reduce the crime rate.

It is more a culture of an angry tragic warrior society. Disassembling that is what is needed. It doesn’t matter what weapons are available. Take away one type and you only change their tactics, not their motivation.

How do you foster a sense of community and brotherhood between disparate groups of people who must either live together or resort to barbarism? What creates the bond, or can it be created? I have some ideas, but I'd love to hear yours.

Me too!
