Hey smartperson if your wondering what to do about the increasing amount of violent crime in the country well, check out this video

The person points out that FBI crime statistics show violent crime and murders have been going DOWN in recent years. From 1992 to 2011 violent crime and murder both have dropped by about 50%. Almost unbelievably if you just look at violent crime, the US rate is actually lower than England and Wales.

Also I'd like to make these two points.
1. I’ll concede that if you get rid of guns you will get rid of ‘gun violence’.
2. There are at least 200 million guns in the country, admit you are not going to be able to get rid of the guns.
