There are more guns in America than people...over 300 million.
The majority of the guns are found in the inner cities. Just about EVERYONE from men to women, all races...carry when they live in the "bad parts" of town.
WHY?
""If you had to break it down [why inner cities youths get guns], a quarter of it is for drugs, a quarter for gangs … fifty percent in general would be for survival, because you know there are a lot of wolves in your city and you refuse to be that one sheep that just gets taken for everything. So, you know in your heart you’re a good guy, and you don’t intend on hurting anybody, but the next man may hurt you - you're gonna get a gun. "
- Sean Hawkins, a former Baltimore gang member"
