As a Second Amendment supporter, I tend to believe that the answers to solving the issue of violence in our inner cities aren’t gun control. Obviously, I’m biased to a significant degree, but my bias is based on observation. After all, look at the 10 safest states and the 10 most dangerous states. You have gun-controlled states in both lists and you have gun-friendly states in both lists as well.
That suggests the issue is a bit more complicated than something that can be solved with a simplistic answer like gun control.
However, it also seems that popular gun violence reduction programs aren’t producing the long-term results proponents hope for.
