I consider myself to be pretty liberal - even by Canadian standards - but I don't really blame people who live in sketchy areas in the States for owning guns. Even going through ghetto areas of Phoenix and Los Angeles during the day is a scary experience. It's a lawless place and the cops really don't give a ##### about what happens to people in those areas.
As for the political side of the story; until Americans get it through their head that they need to pay taxes to improve impoverished areas like ghettos then nothing will get better.
