"Gun violence is the town's biggest and most public problem."
No it isn't. Not even close. Corrupt leadership. Lying. Self-deception. Prosecutors who won't enforce the law. A teachers' union that is not merely out of control, but beyond control. All are at least as public, and more damaging.
Gun violence is just a symptom. When the good citizens who are most affected by it -- the ones who go to the funerals of the little kids, who discuss when they will next see their imprisoned sons and nephews, who deal with the wounded and their wheelchair ramps and colostomy bags -- when those folks, mostly black women, have had enough, they will finally confront the real problems, and then the shooting will stop.
