Where are the guns coming from? How did Marchanna Lavia's 15 year-old relative get hold of a gun so that she could be accidentally shot and killed? Where did that gun come from? Where are the guns coming from? How are these youngsters getting a hold of these guns? How are these criminals getting a hold of these guns? Where are the guns coming from?
I have my suspicions as to where they are coming from, but what I don't understand is why the authorities are not looking into this issue. It seems like a question they would want to ask. It seems like the logical question to ask. I am not saying that the seemingly easy access to guns that children and criminals now have is the sole cause of the crime situation in this county, there are other factors at work. However, it is a factor and must be taken into consideration in an effort to relieve the crime situation that is currently plaguing this country.
Why aren't the police doing what they're supposed to do? Why isn't the government looking into this? Is it that they don't want to? Maybe someone's profiting–just saying–because it seems like common sense to start looking into this issue.Either that or those in authority are more inept than we give them credit for.
