That’s the first line in the promise of a gun-crime free America.
It’s been tried in other parts of the Anglosphere but positive results are hard to find. In Australia, “Gun crime explodes.” In the U.K.,”Families in the grip of London’s gangland gun culture could be resettled in another borough” and “Prayer event planned [...]
