Fair enough.

So long as this is looked at soley as:
- a gun control issue
- a mental health issue
- a social breakdown issue
- a gang violence issue
- etc.
Nothing is ever going to change. People need to get their heads out of their asses if this ship is ever going to get righted.

Well it's only a gang violence issue if a majority of shootings involve gang violence...

I can't speak for other cities, but I sure as shit know that here in Chicago most of these shootings are indeed gang related.

Glasgow has done a damn good job at reducing homicides despite the fact that those murders were committed almost completely without guns.


Here's probably one of the most important points that Americans aren't really doing:

The US should take a look at Glasgow for the last 20 years and see if we can adopt what the government did there to reduce homicides here.




Tough pill to swallow - caring about your fellow citizens. That's how Glasgow did it. Americans can't even implement a UHC because we don't give a shit about each other that much.

Something similar was tried in America actually:
quote:
Many people viewed inner-city shootings as an intractable problem. But for two years, McBride had been spreading awareness about Ceasefire, a nearly two-decades-old strategy that had upended how police departments dealt with gang violence. Under Ceasefire, police teamed up with community leaders to identify the young men most at risk of shooting someone or being shot, talked to them directly about the risks they faced, offered them support, and promised a tough crackdown on the groups that continued shooting. In Boston, the city that developed Ceasefire, the average monthly number of youth homicides dropped by 63 percent in the two years after it was launched. The U.S. Department of Justice's "what works" website for crime policy had a green check mark next to Ceasefire, labeling it "effective" -- the highest rating and one few programs received.

This sort of rehabilitative approach would do a lot of good if adopted and funded more widely.

Seems like we would do something like this if it works. So why is this not being preached by every single politician when they run for office?

People who deal with this act like they are all on top and better than other people. What if I feel the same way about them?

No, but we also shouldn't deprive others of the right.
