We seem to have a lot more gun violence these days is very correct! Why
more these days? Maybe because we have turned in to a welfare society?
Because we opened a war on drugs, and made drugs very, very profitable?

Actually we "seem" to have more gun violence because the media has
raised it to the lead story every night.
The reality is that crime is down, gun or otherwise with a lot more
guns out there.

Crime may be down, but more gun violence in that remaining crime. I also
look at it from a 70 year olds viewpoint. Back to my youth, and we had
fist fights not gun fights.
