Gang Violence
I was wondering what everyone's thoughts here were in regards to gun control laws and the rise in gang violence?

Although I support the rights to bear arms, I also do believe that there needs to be a better system set into place to keep young people away from purchasing a gun or using one.

I happen to live in an area, where gangs have been slowly moving in over the last decade. A young boy was killed a couple of weeks ago in a gang-style killing a few blocks away, and last night, 4 doors down from us there was a gang killing...

All those in the cases are under the legal age of owning a gun...Yet it was that type of weapon used regardlessly. What can we do as a society, to remove those weapons from these kids without infrindging on the personal rights of law-abiding citizens?
