Crime is at 30 year lows and the amount of guns in society is at an all time high.

No need to fear what you don't understand.

It felt so nice to walk down a London or Sydney street without the chance of being shot.

You should travel to a place like that. I'll take me chances with a kitchen knife.

And then what ? How about we have a reboot on our judicial system and go after the criminals ? I know that is probably too hard and isn't a quick band aid to make you feel good.

Interesting, we really aren't all that far from the stats that Australia has and that is with 90 million legal firearms. If we got ahold of what is going on in the inner cities, we would be as safe if not safer.
