I am not sure if that sign is still there, but the lack of good paying factory jobs in the northeast and all across America is a leading source of the gun violence. There are the other factors such as the drug trade, but my point is if Trenton was making things again, say like trams and railway cars, than there would be more economic opportunity and wealth in Trenton. As a former decorated combat sailor for the now decommissioned U.S.S. Trenton (L.P.D. 14), I understand the correlation between the lack of jobs and the increase in gun violence. Until America gets it head out of its ass and realizes that it needs to be a producing nation of products besides speculative finance products, than the violence and economic demise of America will continue unabated.Il Principehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002800517118623115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-25814881541203737732009-07-23T14:59:16.067+02:002009-07-23T14:59:16.067+02:00"but I think we also need to get the States o..."but I think we also need to get the States on the same page as far as those laws go, whether that's by federal law or not."<br /><br />What a bloody hypocrite you are mike.

Why are states that are awash in guns & gun owners not some of the most violent in the country? Why has the loosening of CCW laws not lead to an increased violent crime rate and "blood in the streets."<br /><br />It's almost as if all of the anti-gunners fearmongering, lies, and hysterics conflict with reality!

I have noticed that MikeB is the only anti-liberty commenter. It seems that 100% of the people who visit this blog are pro-gun and pro-liberty. I typically agree that no lie should be left unchallenged, but in this case I think it would be best if all the pro-gun people quit visiting this blog. MikeB's hits would drop to 0 and this blog would disappear. That would also allow us to spend our time productively fighting for personal freedom in other venues.Jonathan Seeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364985086083687026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-43634270453335470892009-07-22T10:10:08.826+02:002009-07-22T10:10:08.826+02:00AztecRed, I think the NJ leadership realizes they ...AztecRed, I think the NJ leadership realizes they have a people problem.
