But you likely wont read any of this because the last thing ideologically anti-gun people want is to save lives and reduce crime.

I can solve the gang problem across the USA in a single generation. Simply have the City Issue hunting licenses when they issue an arrest warrant. If that does not work we could try this idea.
Offer $10,000 (maybe more) to every child that makes it to 18 without an arrest record. Offer them another $10,000 if they get sterilized at 18. 20k is cheaper than a single year of incarceration for the tax payers. It would also give the kids a head start on either college, trade school or a small start-up business.
I know, I should be King.

Are suggesting that gun owners become criminals and go through their neighborhood shooting people?

TRUTH! Nobody, especially nobody in Chicago wants to do the hard work of policing the gangs. It is so much easier to point the finger at guns.

As long as you want to live in a society that self gratifies over guns, it will continue.
But it's your "right" to be murdered... I say good. You deserve it.

Legitimate defense against an armed assault is not a crime.

What would you have them do?
A law abiding person owns a gun for defense (or food/sport). Using it in any other manner would make them criminals, thus adding to the problem.

If gangs thought that all stores were unarmed don't you think that robberies would escalate? There would be little danger in robberies while using a firearm. The shop owners would have to comply or die. Same with households.

That is quite short sighted. I can't believe some one thinks that is true.
I would think that most store owners do have a gun for protection and robberies still are quite frequent. I doesn't seem to me that it is much of a deterent.
