#2 Gun control has never been a substitution for self control. Until communities have their own Anbar Awakening for their own interest, no amount of government 'concern' or 'redistribution' is going to solve the problem. Communities must realize most of their problems are created by the person in the mirror and directly address it or continue to exist in the environment they create for themselves. One of the key obstruction to change is loyalty to blood over loyalty to community.

#3 Unfortunately of little concern unless one must live there. It is barbarity in its most basic form, the barbarity with a subtle difference. Sir Richard Burton, the famous explorer, was right when he said "mere barbarism rarely disgusts: it is the unnatural union of civilization with savagery that makes the gorge rise." The incongruities are not grotesque enough to be amusing; they are merely ugly and painful. Remove civilization and the problem disappears.

Then I heard the boom of the blood-lust song, and a thigh-bone beating on a tin pan gong.
