The Second Amendment is a two-edged sword. Because it allows the legal sale of arms and ammunition any gang members NOT convicted of felonies or otherwise under indictment can buy a gun, or more than one in locales where there are a number of gun shops.

Ammunition is even easier. There is no background check on ammunition purchases and we don't want one to exist. The flip side is that anyone can go on line and buy ammunition legally - there's always a black market but anyone can get on an ammo website, click the button that asks if you're over 18, and buy thousands of rounds of whatever caliber he and his buddies need.

If you're talking about gangs then you're talking about drugs. If you're talking about drugs then you're talking about lots of money. If you're talking about lots of money then you're talking about buying anything you need whenever you need it - do you think these folks don't have credit cards and checking accounts? All they need is one of each and one front person to keep his or her nose clean so the ammunition can be purchased.

Someone wrote above how stupid the anti-gun laws are - that's the precise point - WE are the ones negatively affected, not the East Side Marauders, the Main Street Hooligans, or the Back Country Molesters.

Then you can factor in the smuggling - if the cartels can get a ton of marijuana across the border, never mind 50 kilos of black tar heroin, they can just as easily get their salesman in the USA a supply of weapons and ammunition. Drugs and money, my friends, it's an easy deal and accomplished every day.

Random shootings of innocent people not connected to gangs is the result of the shooters being sociopaths in the same way that the gangsters of the 1920s and 1930s were criminal sociopaths. If you don't care where your bullets wind up then the only skill you need is the ability to pull the trigger, or rack the slide. After that, they are not thinking "don't point your muzzle at anything you don't want to destroy" - all they want is to destroy.

End rant...........
