We see the proof all around us despite how politicians on either side try to spin things. Sad indeed.
Okaaayyy... so shooting a gun into bushes while driving (where there may be people) is happening because there aren't gun ranges here... this logic is mind boggling! SMH <br/><br/> PS- This legal firearm argument is what has been adopted in the US... and wow, look how great that has turned out for them?? <br/> The last thing we need is to adopt a "monkey see, monkey do" attitude with the USA when it comes to legalized firearms. I assure you that the answer to the gun problem is NOT to allow more legal guns. The US has found that out the hard way! Do the research... countries with less gun violence have far more gun control!
What they need to realize is that this problem must be addressed **holistically**. <br/> It's not just stopping would-be criminals.... it's reforming the justice system so they get the proper punishment for the crimes committed... stopping bail for murderers, etc... <br/> Creating more programs for youth who feel disenfranchised... providing more drug addiction/ substance abuse programs...providing alternative educational solutions for the less academically inclined, more sex education programs in schools to help curb unwanted pregnancies...etc... and the list goes on and on. <br/><br/> The **police force** is just ONE cog in the engine of moving toward a safer and more productive society.
