15. I'll take a quick stab at this
Edited on Sun Apr-26-09 01:03 PM by AllentownJake
Some areas of this country, largely Urban areas, have problems with gun violence. Generally speaking these guns are bought in large quantities in suburban/rural areas than are sold in the inner cities.

The dumped guns are than used to commit crimes in the inner cities. The cities due to judicial warnings are unable to pass their own gun laws to protect themselves from these activities. The representatives from the suburban and rural areas, state and locally right laws to prevent the cities from doing this and judges are appointed that don't understand the issues the cities are facing.

My problem isn't the guns, it is our archaic legal structure, and lack of enforcement of existing legislation over guns.
