This isn't really a 2nd ammendment issue; or better stated, the "guns" issue is low on the list of contributing factors.

All politics is local. Until the affected communities change from "get these gang bangers off the street except my [son/husband/brother/nephew/neightbor/baby's daddy"] to "get these gang bangers off the street, regardless", ain't nothing going to change.

Cops and other politicians are to blame too. When I say cops, however, I'm not talking about the grunt in the squad car doing his thing regardless of where they send him. I'm aiming at the the brass worrying about the next promotion or a run for city council who is deploying the grunt.

There are also economic and racial issues that come into play before the whole issue of guns comes in.

That being said ... "Why we will never be invaded. too many guns." should be accompanied by Minibon pointing at the sky shouting "De Plane! De Plane!"

The danger of being invaded by Genghis Kahn, his brother Don, and the whole damned mongol herd is probably lessened by the number of guns in the hands of the public, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon (baring a beer shortage in Canada).
