Addressing the Matter of Guns...

An interesting comment was made by Adrienne Young, executive director of Pittsburgh's Tree said in the article, "Teen Fatally Shot While Inside Car On Pitcairn Street'RE:Lamont Ford, 17, Shot While Inside Car; (POSTED: at 11:13 pm EST on December 29, 2009)which reflected, "Until we begin to address the matter of these guns being in the hands of teenagers and kids and criminals, I don't see that anything is going to change," said Young.

Crime will exist as time goes on; however, it is the guns being made available to the individuals using them that enforces the shootings and deaths that occur. Until a serious effort is made to the gun suppliers, the crimes will not decrease. The various forms of media don't help either. The daily brainwashing and subliminal hypnotizing of killings only perpectuate that shooting and killing is okay and acceptable. We hear it on the news everyday, and see it in movies and TV all day long. When did abnormal behavior suddenly become normal behavior?

We have to ask outselves - 'Who is really responsible for the crime?'.
