GANGS ARE THE RESULT OF WAR ON DRUGS

"Kirk fights gang violence" missed the point like so many efforts to
reduce gang violence in that they do not call for an end to drug
prohibition.

Gang violence erupted during alcohol prohibition, but was reduced with
the 21st amendment.

Take away the black market of illegal drugs by regulating the drug
markets, and gang violence will be reduced. Efforts to increase
penalties for guns do not address the cause of the violence.
