Whenever those in government talk about violence, eliminating firearms is always on top of the list. But if you really think of where all the violence comes from, gangs are always on top of the list. So why don’t those with power, mostly those in the Federal government, such as the senators and the representatives from the House of Representatives, ever talk about legislation to eliminate the gangs that cause so much violence in the neighborhoods of the United States? Local governments try their best to stop gang violence by implementing social programs that they believe will distract young people from seeing the perceived glamour that gangs supposedly offer.
Anti gang, 10. Anti gun, 0
But if gangs are such a threat to the way that people in the United States live, how come most of the negative attention regarding violence points to firearms. Could it be that it would be easier to control a society that is made artificially vulnerable due to the elimination of the right to bear arms? If the 2nd ammendment is slowly being eroded, until it becomes obsolete, the Constitution as we know it will be but a memory. If the ultimate document that defines the United States is allowed to be altered, nothing is sacred, and life as we know it will be a topic that those older than the age of 40 will reminisce about. It would be better if those in government would address the problem of gangs, instead of trying to eliminate our rights. Because if our rights are gone, what’s left?
