Why do gangs exist, is the question. Americans always say this is true or this is not and opinions other than their own cannot stand up to scrutiny. Well guess what how about the actual truth, it is something that you cannot deal with otherwise there would not be so many bogus sites out there pretending to give crime stats that are not real. You can always tell they are not because they do not originate from the country in question. Secondly, they seem incapable of doing math.
When you look at their percentages, it does not add up. What truth are they hiding? First off certain gun lobbyists' who act like Nazi's have to protect their attitudes/status and more importantly the bottom line. They protect gun culture/lifestyle and the profits from the economic support it gets from its members. What do you do when something/someone threatens your income; you destroy it by any means possible. Therefore, via ads propaganda, a threat and so on is non-stop.
Reality check here, say you commit a crime and now you find yourself in prison were you learn how brutal life is there. You lived in a structured environment and find that you now have friends there who have your back. You get out and find that the American middle class hates you. Find a job, it is hard if not impossible, as you have a criminal record and cannot be trusted. You find yourself unable to pay bills and obtaining a place that does a credit check on you makes it impossible to get an apartment.
So now, you are looking around you and all you see are the arrogant self-centered people out there that view you as scum. You see that these people in reality are no better than you but have all the things you can never have results in bitter resentment. Nevertheless, you are not alone in this plight, so find yourself with low self-esteem but need, and want a place to belong. Therefore, a gang is born which gives you a family, and status. It gives you self-respect, status, and a means of having. It is true otherwise; gangs would not exist in the first place. Oh, there are those select few in the same situation who manage to obtain things in life but those are few and far in-between, the ones on Oprah like shows.
Now certain gun organizations that act like Nazis say laws do not work, then why have them. The shooting of someone who is trespassing on someone's front law. Is not considered a crime, but the reality is someone was murdered. In Texas, it is okay to murder and praised as heroes for doing so. Texas the state that has no gun laws to speak of; has a huge population in its prisons and a lot of crime. Look at mainland china for example a country that has serious laws that can put you in prison for almost anything yet the united states has four times as many prisoners in jail and a population that is four times that of the states. it is only common sense then that the U.S. has four times the crime rate. What do you mean laws do not work; you only say that so you can be a hero and murder someone.
Gangs are there because the justice system is setup that way. The ones who enforce the law voted in. People are voted in instead of being appointed. Therefore, when those attitudes are enforced regardless do not complain, it is what you wanted. It maintains the cycle of crime and only perpetuates it by putting down those in that lifestyle and alienates them. The thought of having people in place people with no political agendas would not occur to you. Governments have a duty is to serve the community/public not to serve the specialty groups with the ability to remove the agents of the law, when things do not go their way. You start with the Swiss crime rates; you have no idea what you are talking about
