Hawaii has some of the strictest gun laws anywhere. Strict gun laws only affect law-abiding citizens. I’m pretty sure criminals don’t look at a sign and say, “Oh, I can’t bring my gun in here.”
Vermont has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the country and a very low gun violence rate. Point is, gun laws make no difference to gun violence. The problem is not guns. My gun has never jumped up, ran down the street and shot someone that I’m aware of.
We have a society problem, not a gun problem. Kids grow up with only fathers or mothers and have no direction. We all have seen broken families becoming worse over the years.
Let’s find a way to help kids better move into society and strengthen our families.
