I understand what Bill is saying.
He can not come out and yell at the black kids that are Cripts and Bloods and start killing each other over the color of a bandana or each other for a DIS. of some kind. He cna not as a liberal make it about the parents of the kids in the gangs and their lack of leadership, he can not make it about the movies, the music, the clothes, the Thug idols, the legalization of Drugs in certain areas, the de criminalization of drugs. The Illegal problem. The public schools failing to teach, the lure of easy money, the lack of entry level jobs . It has to be about an inanamate objects that are making these kids kill each other for sneakers, for cars, for the reputation, for the gang. Clearly if we removed all firearms in the country the gangs would not longer kill each other, Oh wait they still hit each other with Bats and bricks, stab each other with knives, Strangle with rope and hands, and hit each other with cars.
Clearly it can not be about the "great society" that has done nothing but create poor people. We have government agencies that their budgets, their pay, their advancement is all based on how many poor people we have. Want ot advance in the agency, get more poor people to take care of the more their budget increaes the more people are hired.
It is clearly the hunk of machined steel that loads its self and jumps in the hands of these kids and aims it's self and shoots randomly at anyone moving.
