It's not the guns who are out of control, it's the politicians and their enablers. What you point out so well is in large measure the result of the scourge of Liberal corruption and the utter failure of their policies which have allowed - nay, encouraged - once great cities to turn into cesspools. These politicians deserve to be put in jail along with the (other) criminals.
Sure, we'll always have street criminals. But when it's the inept, corrupt, coiffured criminal class running a city, the city doesn't stand a chance - no matter how many silly gun laws craven politicians get passed.
It's the moral rot from top to bottom causing the problem - not the "excess" of forged iron and brass.
Thanks for the kind words. I do hope you buy the book.
You are absolutely correct. The politicians are out of control. They are stuck in gear using failed social policy of a by-gone era.
Ironically, it is the “progressives” who are really not progressive.
Here, btw, is a relevant excerpt from my novel:
***
“I always figured that a white liberal was more dangerous to
blacks than the Ku Klux Klan,”Mike said.
“Really?” Beverly asked, skeptically.
“Liberals don’t like imprisonment and capital punishment. This causes more crime. So, who are the people that bear the brunt of the consequences of that policy? Blacks do! That’s why homicide is the leading cause of death among young black males.”
Beverly was incredulous, “You think that capital punishment
would stop that?”
“Sure. Execution definitely limits the chances of someone
repeating a crime does it not? The recidivism rate is very low for someone who was executed.”

Mike is Mike Carr the protagonist of the novel. Beverly is Beverly Clark a civil rights attorney - who just happens to be very beautiful and very rich.
I won’t tell you how they meet or the relationship between them. You’ll have to buy the book :)
