Heres the thing:
Thats why the Latin Kings are a CRIMINAL GANG. BTW the Kings are nowhere near as powerful or dangerous as they once were, their powers were culled through Criminal Prosecution. When you do hear about a shooting its almost always gang-related. Its rare that a civilian is involved. Only talking about NYC of course, cannot speak for the rest of the country.
Everybody says they want to have a gun for self defense, but how many are actually used that way? Not that many. Incidents of people 'defending' themselves is relatively rare. More common are episodes of people pulling LEGAL purchased guns to settle arguments (often domestic), prove that they are some sort of bigshot , or some other bulls***.
Which is why I don't like guns in Big Cities or places of high stress (schools, work). You put a gun in someone's hands whose is under boiling point pressure and he will eventually use it.
A SIDE NOTE
I am not anti-gun by any means, but I do believe that it a responsibility. There are many people who legally purchased guns who in my opinion do not deserve to have one. A gun is a weapon, they are just certain types of people that shouldn't have access to them and those are NOT just the criminal element. I am talking about people under a stressful environment, people with mental/emotional disorders, and certain jackasses who no respect for either the gun or the people around them. They are a dangerous to themselves and more importantly to others.
