Once again, most of the victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. It’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.

Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!
