      You ever heard the saying, you could lead a cow to water but you can't make it drink. Same thing applies here, The government put schools in place for kids to get an education. The kids have to do their part to discipline themselves and want to make something of themselves with the help of parents, teachers and other model citizens who are a part of their life in our society. If the kids are disciplined from a young age, more often they become successful in school and after that, they become successful citizens in the open world. We can't always put the blame on government, we as people have to take blame for our own short comings. If you want to accomplish great things, then get off your rear end and work your tail off and do it simple as that. We need to stop depending of Government for any and everything. I'm not saying that government shouldn't put things in place for us as a people to help us move forward, but we need to do our part too. So your statement is true , but it can also be looked at in this way....uneducated = unemployed = crime. Not just gun crime but crime in general.

    Most of us on the ground do not believe the NDP administration has done a good job in the 7 months they have been in office, and we have seen or heard of no serious plans put forward in tackling gun crime or crime in general!!!!!. All they did in the past 7 months is support Morris a white man over Stoutt a local for police chief!!
