Gun Laws only make a situation worse
The problem with gun laws is not that they don't work. It's that they make the situation worse.
Why else is it that all the most violent cities are located in states with the strictest gun laws? I've lived and traveled all over the country.
I've heard more gunfire in New York, Boston and Oakland, Ca. than I ever did in living in Florida, a state with relatively lenient gun laws.
Every bit of crime statistics I've ever read confirms my own observations.
If you really want to do something about situations like what happened in Va., let's focus on mental health care and why people who really need the help don't get it.
