Guns and drugs are symptoms of a declining culture and of an economic system built for the few at the expense of the masses.

People are miserable. They’re poor. They’re aware that they cannot afford healthcare or good food or proper housing. They have jobs that go nowhere. They receive wages that rise slower than inflation if at all. They have no autonomy or say within the workplace. Laws are oppressive. They cannot educate their children. A sense of community and a sense of pride in existence is lacking, to be replaced with the idolatry of nationalism and scapegoating.
