The Way I see it

Proponents of the Second Amendment often claim that they want no restrictions so that they can protect themselves. These proponents are often the ones that need this "protection" the least. They have situated themselves far away from the areas where gun crime is highest, or even present. In actuality, the majority have never used their guns in self defense and never will.

Come to the city. Live here and when a kid around the corner gets shot and dies because another kid likes his shoes, try and tell me more guns would've solved the problem.

While I do think easy accessibility to guns is a huge problem, increasing restrictions may help but definitely will not solve the problem. What we need are widespread conflict management skills. Physical force and violence should not be the first resort, but this is often the only thing kids see modeled. Parents, community leaders, role models, politicians, police and even the government need to look at how they deal with situations that arise and find non violent ways to respond.

Young eyes are watching everything. Let's find a way to influence a generation and change the future.
