That was very well put; I can't place my thoughts into words as well as you do. Many people forget just how large our country is, and how isolated the gun problems really are. I believe if it isn't a firearm the criminals will find other means to commit crime.
Also the statement about 2% of our population behind bars is misleading and lacking the history to back it. The majority of our prisons are full of minorities, and this can be traced back to slavery. They are bread from a century of never being given equal rights, education, or employment. Now that those things are available the, inner-city thugs and whatnot have no idea how to use them. It is a world within the U.S. that has people hooked on wellfare and crime. It's hard to convert all of these people, because they were children raised in that environment, and now their children are seeing the same. The only thing they've been exposed to is crime.
