Nortenos means "northerners". Surenos means "southerners". So the conflict is literally between the northern California gang and the southern California gang.

Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I think it would take more than private therapy sessions to solve gang violence.

Unless you're referring to group therapy, which the main hurdle would then be getting them all in one room with a therapist who feels safe enough to conduct the session.

The therapy i was referring to was for individuals. That’s how this started. However , the gang violence you were referring to probably was caused in part by other gang violence like riots in Minneapolis and Portland. These traitors ,as you call them, was tired of burning cities and mass vandalism. Which went on for days or weeks. I agree mass therapy isn’t going to work. But do you think the violence in the 2 cities I imentioned was acceptable ?

Something had to cause people to want to start a rebellion. I think that the events in Minneapolis and Portland both had an impact on the January 6th event. These extreme right wing people, IMO, were fed up. I guess they felt storming the Capitol was how they would get their point across. We both know it was a bad move. Those going to prison now probably think the same thing.

TheDollarstoreDoctor t1_j7bo5n7 wrote

What rebellion? Gangs are not a rebellion.. the only thing you can say they're remotely rebelling/protesting against is their rival gang. This has nothing to do with the Jan 6th Capital riots. Where in the world are you getting these protest/riot claims from? They have nothing to do with this specific situation. Gang violence has always been a problem, for several decades. Gang member starts shooting at other gang members, innocent people sadly get caught in the crossfire or accidentally hit. It's not new, certainly been around longer than the riots you're talking about.

Reaction? Dealers and manufacturers would go nuts. These are the guys who have been profiting from the carnage. They'd be climbing all over each other to implement the strictest background checks, the strictest safety measures, the harshest penalties for abuse, etc.

There's no 2nd Amendment issue here and even this Supreme Court might decide they have no recourse against a State of Emergency. Existing owners and collectors might grumble about slippery slope but no louder than before.

I couldn't find a definitive number of guns legally confiscated in the US but reason would suggest that natural attrition would move us in the right direction.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/30/us/firearm-recoveries-gun-violence/index.html

The fact is there are more guns in private hands in the US than anywhere else in the world. The result is there are more gun deaths in the US than anywhere else in the world. Americans are clearly not mature enough to handle the responsibility.

"Shall not be infringed" cannot be much clearer but there are still millions of people who think there is room for restriction

banning the sale of guns entirely is something that, for one, almost every state and local government in the country would refuse to enforce. Two, would cause riots around the country. And three, the federal government doesn't even have the power to do that. It was designed that way from the very beginning

And you skip over the well regulated militia part.

Unlawful_Opinion t1_j77z4w3 wrote

because that is a separate clause, meant in this case to give an example of how the individual right protected in the amendment could be exercised.

Supreme Court Ruling:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller

"The second amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes."

If you still aren't sure what the original intentions of this amendment were then here are a few quotes from founding fathers, particularly those who were supportive of a bill of rights at the time:

"To disarm the people ... is the most effectual way to enslave them."

-George Mason

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined…. The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.” – Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778

“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” – Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, January 9–February 5, 1788

“The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

“I ask who are the militia? They consist now of the whole people, except a few public officers.” – George Mason, address to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 4, 1788

The 2nd Amendment was written to satisfy Framers who were afraid of a standing [federal] army and slaveholders who wanted to preserve their right to mount armed patrols to catch people escaping slavery. The standing federal army has been a fact of life for more than two centuries; slavery was abolished in 1865; so the 2nd Amendment is now useful as a fundraising tool for the NRA and the Republican party, and to make domestic violence more deadly.

Today's ultra-simplistic interpretations of the 2nd Amendment are a fraud, as former Chief Justice Warren Burger said. I honestly think Justice Clarence Thomas (author of the Bruen decision, now being cited to restore gun rights to wife-beaters) detests this country and is using his position to destroy it with its own constitution.

Gun buy backs will only be so effective even with cash incentive, people still have the means to manufacture their own firearms that laws can’t fully stop, you have more guns than people that would have to be accounted for and that’s just the legal firearms. It’s a mess through and through tho.

SynkkaMetsa t1_j75gu7y wrote

So 3 things to start, 1 safe storage laws, mostly unconstitutional under Heller v DC (and with NYSPRA v Bruen almost likely so), red flag laws, extreme grey area on 4th amendment rights if not implemented properly (and with the 5th circuit ruling that restraining orders are not a means to take guns...well, red flags may be analogous given they are somewhat similar in the approach, but we'll see how that plays out if the AG appeals higher) , more extensive background checks... the background things checked on the background check are all good, the issue is localities failing to turn information over to the FBI. And any extended background check that takes a few days to complete...well they don't do anything, they just run NICS as usual and sit around and make it a wait-period law instead.

Also gun buybacks are hilarious to me, they are basically "hey, I'll give you $100 for that $2000 gun you got" because apparently the legislatures think it is <2000's still in terms of gun prices...like, nahhh, and then people 3D print firearms to show how much of a joke the whole thing is anyway.

Not trying to be snarky, just pointing out the reality of all these things. We'd likely be better off trying an approach which doesn't affect 2A or any of our other rights...because apparently politicians don't get that, we are at the point where they are purposefully testing the boundaries knowing it is a grey area (and in some cases knowing 100% that they are attacking a right), and that's not good for any of our rights.

Tangent: I wish I could say that they truly believed it was about safety...but I've read so many of their proposed bills, it is not about safety, they simply hate gun owners just like you see with people here on reddit which clearly have a bias against gun owners, so why would politicians be any different, they are after all, just people, and like people, are influenced by those around them.
