Thank God for the Second Amendment -- where would we be without it?Any crime that can find its cause in crack cocaine can therefore be traced to the CIA which used drug money finance its dirty little wars.
Also, the proliferation of handguns can be traced to the profit-motive for the gun companies have known for some time that the percentage of the population that was hunting began a steady decline in 1975 and that hunting as a sport will not last for 60 years. So, the gun companies stepped up their production of handguns, flooding "friendly" markets in the South knowing that their guns would find their way up north. So they stepped up their production of handguns and began marketing to women and minorities. (Have you ever heard of the LadySmith, Smith and Wesson's .38 specially designed for women?)
Handguns are attractive to gun manufacturers as they typically have a shelf-life of 18 months. Once they are used in a crime they are usually destroyed, discarded or confiscated.
The girl is dead because the boy had psychological problems. The boy had psychological problems because of his household. His household had problems because of drugs. Because of drugs his house had a loaded gun. And his house had a gun and drugs because of the CIA and the profit motive.
