I found this interesting that the gun crimes have increased a lot as well as drug and gang activity. I have long said drugs and gangs bring gun crimes not guns. Additionally they have identified the areas where crime has spiked are heavily affected by economic issues like poverty and low employment rates. They also identified these as large drug dens and immigrant communities.
Why can’t the USA figure out guns aren’t the problem? Be curious to see how Sweden proceeds.

I hope your reps better than mine. Mine doesn’t respond and just blames Trump for everything.

Mine often asks me for talking points and make him smart on the topics. I’ve heard my words on the State floor. He tries, but his peers on the other side are usually swiping Tinder while he speaks. He had the composer of the last Safe Act stammering with his questions and that guy showed he knew zero about what he wrote.

Sweden has an islamist migrant problem not a gun problem.

We’re coming up on that here as well.
My point is it’s great that they aren’t blaming the gun and maybe we and our politicians here could use this to defend our freedoms on this very topic. It can’t be the guns here and the other issues there when the same dug runners and impoverished people are committing the same crimes here and there.
The article does bring up that these are heavily migrant and immigrant communities so that is discussed.
