The term 'gun violence' is self-depreciating when used pro gun rights folks. The problem is violence....period. Or, substitute crime. By using the term gun violence, or gun crime we're just playing into the hands of the anti's.
If guns were somehow magically dis-invented, crime and violence would still exist, just the tools would be different. So far, no gun control laws have done much, if anything, to reduce crime (or violence).
Back to the question of the thread....If the premise of the thread is true, that we have more [ ]violence, I would proffer that it's due to a breakdown in social order and morals.
