In Canada, the U.S., and England to name a few the gun control issue has always worn a mask. It is really about black contol, but in our increasingly PC world that admission just can't be made by elected politico's. So they attempt to restrict gun ownership to the masses, and it doesn't work.

The anti gun media goes out of the way to highlight the white male gun nut myth. You can always find a major story about the lone white gunnman on a shooting rampage or the guy that had his house raided where an arsenel was found. Meanwhile in black, minority, and immigrant communities the violent crime rages on with daily shootings and guns are as available as crack cocaine. There are thousands of these incidents every day in the U.S. inner cities, where is the media on this ?

The issue of violent crime in poor neighborhoods can not be solved by gun control. Some in LE believe their jobs can be made safer or easier if all the guns were eliminated and that may be true, but it does not make it safer for the ordinary citizens that have to live in these places. The criminals are just as much a danger to them with knives, clubs, and bare fists. A small tactical and imagined advantage to the police actually puts the citizens at higher risk.

The roots of violent crime are cultural and economic. Governments and politicos do not want to touch the solutions to the real problem because there are no easy or quick fixes. It is much easier to blame inantimate objects for societies ills.

The media carefully, methodically, and purposefully ignores these things. Oakland, California, a city of 400,000 people, mostly black, recorded 113 murders in 2002, 99% involved those who work in the drug trade. The media accounts of this focussed almost entirely on the tools used to carry out these murders, mostly "THE GUN". The media is so shamlessly left-biased, that they have become the stooges of tyranny. So California, like England (and elsewhere) works even harder to disarm the law-abiding citizenry, clinging to the wrong-headed idea, that somehow, by (attempting) to reduce the number of guns "out there", that they will eventually reduce the rate of violent crime.

The average moron voter sucks up this nonsense year after year, passing more and more worthless "gun control" legislation. At the core of this victim-disarmament cadre lies the sinister would-be tyrant/politicians and their sycophants. The end-game for these evil men and women is to turn the US and eventually the whole world into a Utopian workers paradise, with them as the "leaders". Gun Control is about controlling the citzenry. Its slavery by any other name.
