Gun Control
A wave of high-profile school shootings has placed gun control at the top of the public agenda for the past couple of years. Politicians are engaged in frantic attempts to prevent gun violence or at least give the appearance of doing so. Celebrities have lately added to this cause, like rapper Puff Daddy, and basketball star, Jason Williams, who were both part of recent shootings. In short, this flood of lawmaking and big name hemming and hawing misses the point. In fact, a very small percentage of the population is responsible for committing a large percentage of the nation's crime.
