I'm responding to the letter by Richard A. Damon in last Sunday's Billing Gazette. He's right about the violence in our country being a learned behavior, generational and endemic. But he draws wrong conclusions from these facts as he blames a symptom (guns) instead of the source (societal decay).
Just look at Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit and the other large metropolitan centers and what they have in common. For the most part, they're run by Democrat politicians, have the most restrictive gun laws, gang violence, drugs and police forces under siege.

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
