yea it is a very complex situation.... and to elaborate.. making stricter gun laws means less once in a blue moon murders in lets say a wyoming.... but does nothing for a place like a nyc, philly, dc, la...No no no my bad on phrasing it like that, definitely didn't mean to make it seem like mass shootings are more significant than single incidents.....I just meant a lot of gang violence and things I bet use more illegal weapons or use straw purchases and stuff than a person who has no "criminal background" would in obtaining a gun I think.....
And you're right, I'm from Philly where there's a lot of gun violence in the city with young teenaged kids and adults....I honestly have NO idea how to curb that type of situation...I know radio stations do gun for money or ticket drives to help get some of the weapons off the street but really the imprint that's making is insignificant in the grand scheme of things (but things like that should still go on because one less illegal weapon on the street is a GREAT thing). But I was more so talking about these mass shootings that tend to be done by non-gang or affiliated people with criminal records...I'd be willing to say (don't have facts to back it up) but more gun violence in inner cities or in lower income areas tends to be from people with records (juvenile or whatever)...but all lives are equal, if making tighter regulations makes one of these "suburban killings" then thats more lives spared from senseless violence....I just think its a process that seems to be easier to limit the potential for these types of shootings from happening than random acts of violence that happen due to human nature and society having evil....but that illegal gun problem is so convoluted and complex I dunno even how to address it, tbh thats much more of a pressing issue than these types of mass shootings since like you said that happens everyday. This world is sick![]()
for as sad.. as these isolated incidents are including the school shooting today.... compare it to lets say chicago.... i mean more ppl are being killed in hell a week then this... let alone a month a year etc... Tighter gun laws would have absolutely no effects on events like this.
making it hard to obtain guns in areas where deaths because of gun violence is minut at best will have little to no impact on gun violence... making it tougher to get a gun in south dakota where at best 30 gun deaths a year happen will do what exactly? Not if getting a gun in detroit is easier then a high school diploma, where you may have 50 gun deaths in a summer.
