Gangsta "culture" and guns: a comment

Poverty= violence= B.S.
I know lots of poor, rural folk who have plenty of guns and not 2 nickles to rub together. Not a single one of them or their towns have had a gangland shooting spree or escalated gun violence of any kind. Not poverty. It can't be or rural Alabama would have shot itself to death by now. It's about "culture." The culture without father, a culture without authority or community, a culture of disrespect, might-makes-right, and power-by-bodycount.
"employment, education...need to be taken care of"
sigh.
