There are passionate arguments on both sides of the debate. Does themean that every individual has the unlimited right to own guns, or does it mean that there should be state militias that are well-regulated by the government? Whatever the meaning, one thing is clear. We’re not using guns to kill America’s enemies. We’re using them to kill each other. Therefore, if we are to win this war, we must first recognize that guns are merely the weapons we’ve chosen.
After all, systemic inequality creates the underfunded schools that produce criminals. It also creates communities without adequate resources and disparities in health, wealth, housing, and employment. Perhaps most damning, systemic inequality creates people who believe that their only way out of their current situation is with a gun.
Perhaps under other circumstances, the carnage we’ve seen in this war would be labeled as atrocities. But we seem to have normalized gun violence in America, especially when it comes to the impoverished or people of color. It’s almost as if we expect certain people to shoot each other, and I believe that’s because we’ve come to expect inequality.

solomonjones1 Guns and disintegrating schools are separate issues. SDP is crumbling because it's $10 billion in debt, half of which is unfunded pensions. Bad pension accounting is unforgiving and it doesn't care about the kids.
