5. I thought the Mob had Tommy Guns

But, you know, I don't think criminals use their guns to do mass killings.

They use them to rob banks or whatever or to wipe out each other. At least that's the way it is around here. I think some of the gang members might have assault rifles but they do have some rules. Drug dealers might have them to protect themselves.

Those people live in a really violent society but they don't break into schools and kill little kids. They just get one or two at a time when a kid gets in the way of a drive-by shooting. Their violence is awful for those that are trapped in it but at least it makes some kind of sense.
