Redefining the conversation away from the liberal thinking, the real debate is not about guns at all. It&#x27;s about what causes violence, where does it occur, and how can we stop it. The most dramatic form of this crime, occurs most often from guns - so, we need to reframe it from gun violence to violence where guns are involved. This is a 65 year old problem - the root of it, is based on the highway system in conjunction with relining that left poverty in the inner city. I note here, I am leaving out race, but it disproportionately affects (use right?) the African American population because of the redlining (why I mentioned it), thanks to racism and white privilege - debate all you want, but mobility of the white middle class demographic was huge at this time. Think baby-boomers in particular. The SOLUTION to solving a WHOLE slew of problems, which liberals ALWAYS talk about is giving social programs a go on a major scale to help disadvantaged population. Bipartisan politics always shift away from this, because of the polarizing problem of being perceived as to liberal or to conservative, etc. etc. Poverty to expand on violence is exponential and often (like 80% of the problem) involves desperation which leads to crime, disassociation with society and drives youth &#x2F; people to gang membership. It&#x27;s been a long deep understood problem, that gangs of any time typically lean towards drugs, alcohol, and illegal activities to maintain the syndication of crime. This includes prostitution, which affects women and can more often lead to domestic violence. So, with all _that_ said, think of guns in the mix - illegal and not, and ALLLL the gun programs in the past, where do most of the illegal guns come from - that&#x27;s right, poverty stricken areas. So, I lean back to what is gun control&#x27;s main problem? It&#x27;s ineffective. Solve poverty ... put a CONSERVATIVE BUSINESS BASED DEMOGRAPHIC (namely young moderate Republicans) on every other street with strict oversight who are NOT prejudice to start engines of economic growth to stamp out poverty in areas where it exists. Let Liberals cry all they want, but spearhead poverty in the urban centers and you will reduce violence where guns are involved. THAT is the solution.
