Not all of the effective methods involved guns (many involved rehab and churches), and L.A. in particular has been doing well lately. MacArthur Park is down from, what, hundreds of murders every year to a good 4-5 years with none at all? (Except for that extortion shooting recently.) But guns in the world society are a constant, and they'll come back to L.A., too. We get guns smuggled in from other countries, and other countries don't want us happy and functional. It's an endless cycle.

guns are not down because of police. that is not the case. guns are down because they stopped selling them and they stopped issuing permits, and so they literally dried up. I already told you, I plead the Fifth Ammendment on this, so you either take my word for it or not, but guns on the street are much harder to come by today then they were 5 years ago, and five years ago, they were much harder the get then they were ten. It is harder to steal a crate of glocks from the train yards if there are none there to steal. It is harder to steal guns from the gun shop if there are not gun shops around. it is harder to break into some good ol american gun nuts house and steal a dozen of his three hundred hangun collection if that asshole doesnt own the fucking guns to begin with, and these combined are how guns are dissappearing from the streets of California, and as a result, why gun violence is down. gang violence is not down, just gun violence, there is a difference.
