There is no shortage of guns on this planet, and they are not hard to get a hold of, even in countries like England and Canada which have fairly strict gun control laws. Our experience in Canada is that most types of crime are on the decrease; however, violence, particularly with firearms is on the increase, particularly among black, poor urban youth. This being the case, some difficult questions pose themselves. And with difficult questions, there are no easy answers: "hang the bastards," and "send them back where they came from," are just not good enough, for many reasons.

To put things in a not too reassuring perspective, the city of Detroit has more murders annually than the whole British Isles.
