Editor,
With all the talk about how to end gun violence there is only one answer. Start teaching all our children before they grow up how to live life. All gang members were once children. It’s easier to build a child than it is to repair an adult. Start from the beginning.

Good advice, Mr. Nice. We should also teach our children how to treat firearms with respect and how to safely handle guns when using them. Start from the beginning. While we’re at it, we should also start teaching adults about the benefits of crime and punishment and enforcing the current laws on the books. But if those adults fail, at least we know our children can safely use firearms to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Mr. Nice - all statistics point toward gang members who had no or only sporadic fathers in their lives. That is where we need to start. Encourage a solid, responsible family structure where kids feel safe and motivated to achieve.
