For how many years did we not have background checks, and probably less
violence than now? Maybe it is the culture now and not guns that are the
problem.

Actually, in spite of all the hype from the left, these are the safest
times we have ever had in this country in reference to violence,
particularly gun violence. It is just that when it happens, that is
the only thing on the news for a month ... at least when it is white
people being shot or when a white person shoots a black person.
The bulk of murders are black people shooting other black people and
that is not news.

I think we have more gun violence than in my youth. And I lay the blame on
the War on Drugs. Just like Prohibition spawned Al Capone and those type
gangs, the WOD. Has spawned new gangs. Overall we are probably safer, but
there are concentrated areas where violence is an epidemic. Comes with
drugs, not many jobs for the unskilled, and the lure of big money without
any education. But due to political correctness that can not be put
forward.
