It’s a wonder that the Tribune-Review has headlines like “Pittsburgh’s soaring homicide rate leaves officials baffled” (Oct. 27, TribLIVE). Really, baffled? Last year, six guns were sold for every 100 Americans. In reading said article, all “baffling” violence was linked to shootings.

We have a gun problem. More guns equals more crime. More guns does not equal more responsible citizens. This trope is playing out in every American city. When you buy something, you want to use it, and now we are.
