So, it isn’t even the middle of the year and Baltimore now has more than 100 murders. There is a serious problem going on in Baltimore whether it is a drug problem or a territory problem, there is a serious problem. The mayor of Baltimore would like to blame it on gun manufacturers but that is like blaming diabetes of sugar manufacturers or blaming car accidents from excessive speeds on car manufacturers. Guns are made by gun companies and it is a HIGHLY regulated. You can’t buy it like a twinkie in the corner store. Even in states where it is really easy to buy a gun like here in Georgia, there is still a background check and it can take a few days so not sure the argument really works.
They are oversimplifying it and part of it is to avoid taking any blame themselves. If there are no economic opportunities, people will turn to illegal methods of making money, it is THAT SIMPLE if they want to talk simple.
Baltimore isn’t bringing enough jobs and well paying jobs to their area and then what you get is a more desperate group of people who feel and act desperate.
The politicians should spend less time YAPPING and more time WORKING and help people in these communities find opportunities and give them a chance, blaming the violence on guns is just dumb, because they are missing the WHY someone wants to kill someone else by solely focusing on the HOW.
