Gangs recruiting in many states - The Firearms Forum

I caught this on the news the other day, they were saying that gangs such as MS-13, Bloods, Crips...etc are upping their recruiting of gang members, now why the news didnt say that the initiation to these gangs calls for killing or robbing innocents, I'll never know, to me this means that in towns all across America, these uneducated drug ridden scumbags will be on the hunt for victims, so, carry and extra clip with you, inform all you know, if we don't fight back, who will?...Our Government sure don't seem to care

As brutal and vicious as the crips and bloods are MS-13 is said to be even more dangerous.

There are said to be more gang memebers than police officers in L.A.

The same is true here where I live. The gang members way out number the cops here.

Another sad fact is that on the average day gang members have the police outgunned badly

. They also have no hesitation on shooting unarmed individuals

It may be time to excercise 2A rights everywhere, regardless of the propensity for local juristictions to ride rough shod over our contitutional rights.

The problem with new like this is that all it does is incite people. Gangs are always "recruiting" mainly because most of them become incarcerated and/or killed. The real shocker for me regarding gang activity, is the rise of activity in states like Georgia, Colorado, New Mexico, Vermont (No kidding), and many other states you wouldn't assume had gang activity.

In general, how is a "government" supposed to handle this. It's not like gangs post their membership, or give directions to their "meeting hall". I believe for any community to combat gang related problems, they must first come together as a community, which in most cases is how gangs have taken over (lack of a community).

Exactly right, gangs are a societal problem and the roots are a lot deeper than most realize. Community breakdown and lack of community all together is how it all starts. And once it starts then differential association(1) sets in and u get a snowball effect. A community is like a parent... if dad is standing right there keeping an eye on you and u know ur gonna get ur ass light up if u take a cookie then u aren't gonna take a cookie, but if he isnt in the room, breaking the rules is a much easier decision.
Gang members join gangs because they have nothing else to be a part of, like family, career, and legal hobbies. They gain acceptance from the gang which is what they were lacking and they are rewarded and admired for criminal activity. The worse the crime they commit the more respect they get. This creates a very strong form of obedience or "semper fi." And thats what makes gangs so difficult to deal with.
