>>> Will Brink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/10/07 11:14 AM >>> The NY Times article seems to still focus on access to guns the the prime reason for the violence: "Local police departments blame several factors: the spread of methamphetamine use in some Midwestern and Western cities, gangs, high poverty and a record number of people being released from prison. But the biggest theme, they say, is easy access to guns..." Most readers will come away blaming the tool used, and the NY Times seems to downplay the social factors. Most readers will conclude less guns would = less crime from the above. >Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 >Content-Description: HTML > >As David Kopel "discovered" 15 years ago, it is a social/cultural >problem. ><http://davekopel.org/CJ/Mags/InnerCityCrisis.htm>http://davekopel.org/CJ/Mags/InnerCityCrisis.htm > >Access to guns have little to do with causing or increasing the >violence (although the violent people may use them).
