8. Sarisataka asks a fundamental question...

Since crime rates, including the oft-used "gun crimes," have been falling, we should be looking at what caused this persistent decline and learn from those causes. To limit the discussion to "Gun Crimes©" is to grossly distort any analysis of any societal problem, and to immediately force-fit the subject into an orthodox and doctrinaire societal policy of prohibition. Far better, but far more difficult, is to take a liberal/progressive approach to analyzing What is the problem, then identifying causes and addressing those. Prohibitionism, on the other hand, is expensive, corrupt, abusive of rights, ineffective-to-the-point-of-counter productivity, but it is Simple in concept and politically appealing.

It is time that controller/banners took the road less-traveled: It's hard.
