You have hit it right on the head. Disrespect. In certain areas looking at someone in a way they feel is disrespectful will get you killed.

When you have nothing, respect is the only thing you can try to hold on to.

I should have been more clear. I meant the music industry. Just look at the perps, then take a guess at what kind of music they listened to that glorifies this type of behavior. The statistics say they probably grew up in a broken home as well, with nobody to teach them the difference between right and wrong.

I'm sure some here will think that's not being politically correct, but statistics are just that.

Until there is a paradigm shift in that regard, there will be no change... and citizens overall will suffer with restricted rights thanks to the deeds of the few.

Agreed. When you have nothing, there isnt anything to loose.

Because Grier has a criminal record, he was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Because he had five rounds of ammunition on him, he was also charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after deputies discovered he was carrying a glass pipe. Grier was also charged with violating the terms of meted out following previous charges of possession of cocaine, burglary, and carrying a concealed firearm while trespassing. -

The thing is they all have prior criminal records and are not legally allowed to posses firearms.
However, laws never apply to criminals nor are they concerned about laws.
This group is just four of the reasons law abiding citizens need weapons.

I don't understand... why didn't they obey the law?

Sounds like we need another law that makes it illegal to break the law.
