There is, has been, and only will be one guaranteed solution to the
human jackals that plague society with their predations.  The rise in
violent crime over the past three decades has NOTHING to do with
economics (there has ALWAYS been a vast gap between rich and poor, and 
in the past, there have been periods where the vast majority was poor,
like the Great Depression to name the most recent example, and crime
was never the problem it is in the U.S. today).  

The solution which had been the greatest deterent to violent crime was
punishment and EXECUTION of the worst offenders.  Prior to the mental
lapse brought on by the sixties, violent criminals were incarcerated
and PUNISHED by hard labor.  Murderers were EXECUTED.  Today, violent
criminals are parolled, if not pardoned, and murderers receive reduced
sentences, are coddled and cared for while imprisoned, and given both
liberties and comforts during their sentence.  WHAT A DETERENT!

Take away guns so they cannot commit crime?  Even countries that HAVE
NO GUNS have crime.  There are countries, like Germany, where everyone
has a gun (as the U.S.) but the crime rate is incredibly small.  Why?
Because they never changed their judicial system from Crime and 
PUNISHMENT to the CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM which seems to only find
the time to give justice to criminals and protect their 'rights'
after they've Sh*t on the rights of their victims.  I have NO sympathy
for these people.  (Being a paramedic who has worked downtown Dallas,
I've met more of them than I cared to).

The only solution that will work is not to eradicate weapons (unless 
you can eradicate rocks and hands), it is to eradicate the murderers.
