27. "Ever rising levels of violence"...nope.

Edited on Thu May-22-08 08:07 PM by benEzra

so the country has cursed itself with ever rising levels of violence

Nope.

the worlds' largest and most expensive prison system.

That's the result of our national drug policy. Just like alcohol prohibition, drug prohibition has been an unmitigated disaster, and is directly or indirectly responsible for most of the crime problems in the United States.

That just goes to show that gun policy ought to be set on the national level

Gun policy HAS been set on a national level. Tight controls on all automatic weapons, sound-suppressed firearms, guns over. 50 caliber (except shotguns), and armor-piercing handgun ammo; no possession by felons or mentally incompetent allowed; background check for purchase. Non-automatic, non-sound suppressed firearms under .51 caliber may be owned by mentally competent adults with clean records.

THAT is our national gun policy. Just because you may not like it, does not mean that doesn't reflect the will of the people.
