It’s a true statement. However, the solution has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with the father deficit for young men and the persistent lack of a future with a tradwife.
Who wants to bet that Cruz and Alysa Milano will be caught up in an affair within the year?
Exactly, everyone wants to see a big reduction in violence. We disagree on how to do it. If you can’t stop drugs you can’t stop guns and no amount of regulating lawful activity among law abiding people is going to change that. The majority of gun violence is drug related. But people on the left don’t really care about reducing gun violence per se, they just don’t like the idea of private ownership of guns. If they really cared about the deaths of young people they would be focusing on the 300 drug overdose deaths every week, and the murders and shootings that are caused by drug related events - dealers and pushers killing each other for turf and money, addicts robbing and shooting each other to pay for their next fix. More people are killed in Baltimore (or Chicago) every year related to drug related activity than all the mass shootings combined.
We could cut gun violence by half or more if the profit from the drug trade could be eliminated. No profit means no reason to fight or die. You don’t see farmers shooting it out over the market share for produce. Heck, you could start by just getting some task forces to aggressively stop and search all known felons on probation/parole and if they have a gun or drugs on them revoke their parole/probation and throw them into prison. That would reduce gun violence immediately as the drug pushers would lay a lot lower. But they don’t want to do that. Instead they want to create a climate where more law abiding people are dependent upon and in subservience to the government. Red flag laws, they want neighbors to turn on neighbors by ratting each other out for thought and speech ‘crimes’. They want their utopia not knowing it is really dystopia.
