>More gun laws aren’t going to change that because the root cause is generational poverty.

Let me put on my wellies here, cuz shits getting deep.

If you think intergenerational poverty is the specific reason a deep & vast black market of guns exist all across america's streets then we're not going to get anywhere.

I'm not retarded, I can see exactly what european countries have done to decrease the black market of weapons while keeping handguns accessible.

As a taxpayer, I don't appreciate that one single industry is allowed to waste so goddamn much of my tax money while they rack in the $$$. This industry makes Eversource CEO look like a pope.

I live in CT for a reason, because of tight gun regulations........I dont work my ass off to listen to gunshots every damn night like I had to in the 4th largest city in the US.

I’m a 1st generation American of Greek parents. They owned a Pizza shop in the Boston area from 1970-2007. They sold it to an Albanian couple and they still operate it to this day. Most of my Parents friends and relatives also owned pizza joints.

NO its a big thing in MA.

My theory (Growing up in NY vs going to college in Boston).

In NY the majority of diners are Greek owned. Greek immigrants who wanted to open a restaurant defaulted to diners while Italian immigrants went the Pizza route.

In Boston that diner culture just doesn't exist, so all the Greek immigrants defaulted to opening pizza places.

Not sure in CT as much. The pizza places we tend to frequent in stamford aren't greek owned but there are plenty
