Best-selling author of swagger, ten rules for raising boys in the age of thug culture. i listen to that sheriff with a great sense of dismay, not of the courage that he brings every day to his work but because he espoused a view there which is so prevalent in america right now, that the gun is not the problem. when it seems to me if you have a 300 million guns in circulation, of course it s the problem. of course the ready availability of a deadly welcome to people who shouldn t be having them and they misuse them is a massive part of this problem. but am i a lone voice of insanity in this debate? no. and i agree with you whole-heartedly. look, it s not an either/or situation. we need to address mental health issues. we need to address substance abuse. and we need to address guns. let me give you another number. 20. americans are 20 times as likely to die from gun violence as citizens of other civilized ....
