The idea of “gun violence” is that somehow, violent crime is worse when committed with a gun or something. I don’t really understand it, but it’s the term the media absolutely loves to use to talk about violent crime.
And, in fairness, most violent crime is carried out with a firearm. That’s because guns are about the best weapon most of us can obtain. It’s why we, as citizens, want to hold onto our firearms.
But in many places, there’s long been a push to restrict these weapons. You know this, though. Otherwise, you likely wouldn’t be here reading this right now.
