"We have a thug culture problem, not a gun control problem"....taken from a Blog

When you see supporters of gun control railing about “gun violence,” they are, as a matter of objective fact, lying. There is no such thing as “gun violence” anymore than there is “knife violence” or “stick violence” or “fist and foot violence.”

What we have is a subculture that has little to no concern for their fellow man. They are not good citizens. They live a predatory lifestyle and look upon the decent, law-abiding citizens that make up the majority of our population as prey to be attacked and exploited.

We’ve written about this mindset again and again, in small, incredibly lawless enclaves in cities and towns around the nation. As hyper-violent as parts of Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis and other cities can be, when you start looking at block-by-block maps, the violence tends to be incredibly isolated.

Hey, Jackass!, a site dedicated to tracking the violence of Chicago, shows us that the majority of our nation’s on again/off again “murder capitol” isn’t that violent. Just five neighborhoods—Austin, Englewood, Garfield Park, Humbolt Park, and New City—account for most of the criminal homicides.

If politicians really had a sincere interest in dramatically reducing the already historically low levels of violence in the United States, they’d spend their time and energy focusing on changing the thug culture in these isolated areas, and would leave the rest of us alone.

Denying the rest of the nation access to firearms because of the serially violent actions of a tiny subculture is the worst kind of exploitation by some in our political class, and they should be denounced for attacking the law-abiding majority, instead of attempting to change the hyper-violent and isolated minority responsible for most gang-related crime.
