Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US
Published: Dec 19, 2024 3:00 pm
To the Editor:
Why is gun violence higher in the US than in any other country in the western world?
Two reasons:
1. The US has a Second Amendment and other countries don’t.
2. The US has a corrupt Supreme Court and other countries don’t.

Half right. The other half wrong (and left).
gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we’ll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn’t create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn’t create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.
