This has nothing to do with the American gun industry, and everything to do with weak laws, understaffed police departments and liberal judges.
Right, the common sense approach. The argument everyone who actually doesn't actually bother to research guns,violence and criminal law.

Those tough laws, ultraconservative judges and heavily staffed police forces in states such as Texas,Georgia, Florida, West Virginia etc. has led to a major decrease in crime. Wrong.

However, you do know what you do find when you study guns and violence?? Places where access to guns are easier have higher shooting and murder rates.

And yes, guns are to blame more than bats,knives and other weapons. You can't kill or harm someone unless you're in extremely close contact with the victime. People use guns because the odds of doing harm and escape are much higher.

So spare me youre QR77 logic on how to solve violence unless you do your research. You forgot to add that, "guns don't kill people, people kill people".
