I remember North Hollywood, Lou. But that's the exception, not the rule.

And I AM talking about socio-economic issues. Again, why are we allowing these cheap, piece of shit handguns (that no other country in the world would consider adopting) to be made en masse and shipped in trunks to inner cities where teenage thugs can buy them for less than a pair of sneakers and go out and kill a liquor store clerk, their fellow gangbangers, or, just as likely, innocent civilians? You want to address socio-economic issues? See Bornyo's black preacher clip in the Obama thread. That guy knows a thing or two about what's going on in the hood. Get money invested in that community. But in the meantime, maybe if we got rid of these piece of shit guns that the bangers can easily get their hands on (as opposed to, say, a Kalashnikov, which they'd never be able to afford)maybe we could stop some of the killing in the hood.

And as for the Revolution, it wasn't war until the then-Government decided it was going to take all of our weapons away. What did they think was going to happen?

@ Taint: So fucking what if the owner of the liquor store has a Kalashnikov? More power to him. Are you suggesting we keep guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens? Man's got a right to defend himself.
