Teenage gun crime

It's been in the media, the news that in 12 days, we've had 3 teenagers killed by most likely their peers at point blank range, 2 of them, in their homes.

Most of the talking heads on TV and the opinion pieces seem to suggest there is a correlation between, drugs, organised crime and the relative accessibility of guns; added to the mix, the false bravado that comes from mimicking the gangster rap culture. This instant potpourri sure to implode is a tide difficult to stem because there's a lack of will, on the part of society and the government.

Meanwhile, who drew the line in the sand, saying here and no further regarding drugs and culpability for the attendant criminality? Who decided that we'll go for the traffickers, the varied and many conduits, but ignore the source and the eventual user? I know our society is rooted on 'Individualism' which I subscribe to on a lot of issues but isn’t it about time the reporter who probably just got a high from its use knows that he is invariably linked with the gun crime society is trying to tackle. I do not believe David Cameron should be hounded for what he did at fifteen but isn’t it important for people to realise that whenever they indulge in drugs, they enable the system they claim to abhor.

(I know it is a crime to use drugs but it's obvious the police does not apply its resources to tackle users)
