How about the alcohol and drunk drivers, don't forget to include them in with the drug users. I'm sure they are non violent and don't mean to hurt anyone.
Where we live probably 85 % of the people own guns. Around 35 % of them carry weapons. We haven't had anyone shot yet. So what is the real problem?
Shooting people over drug deals and robbery to get drugs, and anything else you want..
Theys need to put these criminals out into the highways, parks, public areas and make them work instead of laying up in some prison and waiting for their weekend with their lover in the Tax Payer Motel.
