Do you claim that "rural gun owners" are causing the inner city gun violence? Haven't seen any evidence of that myself, but willing to consider any sources you might have. Far as I can tell, the problem isn't "rural gun owners," but felons shooting others. Perhaps you saw the story about gang members purposely killing a 9 year old in Chicago 2 days ago? Does the fault lie with the gun or the murderer?
