1. Re: big city boy – apparently Chicago has in fact implemented your apparent preferred nostrum of gun control to no good effect. This is obviously going to happen since guns can move easily across jurisdictions. So the next logical extension of your argument is that all other responsible gun owners in other jurisdictions must give up their rights so that maybe things will improve in inner city hell holes. In truth, inner city drug and gang cultures are so dysfunctional that the impact of gun control would in fact barely make a dent in what happens there.
3. Many of the policies of government have in fact created and fostered this dysfunctional culture. Creating a crisis to use as an excuse to curtail individual rights (think global warming) is a tried and true tactic of those who favor more government control of the citizenry.
