8. This is Why

I have my doubts as to whether gun laws will solve the gun violence problem. And don't get me wrong, I am totally fine with increased gun laws. I just don't think they are going to make a huge difference. If we are lucky, Jr. won't be able to legally walk into Cabela's and buy the assault rifle he plans to use to shoot up WalMart, which would be a start. But this Philadelphia guy? He probably never owned a legal weapon in his life. His type of incident is not super common, but domestic violence, urban street violence and the like will be going on for a long, long time.
