In fact, gun sales are up right now, after this tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Host Chuck Todd cut in, accusing gun manufacturers of marketing to the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>McCrory seemed to reject the premise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a feeling out there of an institutional breakdown, not just at the federal government level, but at the local and state also, because we\u2019re all involved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McCory noted that when he was mayor of Charlotte, he took every shooting \u201cpersonally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019d go find out that the 17 or 18-year-old kid who was involved in the murder or who killed, you\u2019d go back and find that that incident could have been prevented long ago. There was a breakdown in the family, there was alcohol and drugs in the household, there was domestic violence, there was a dropout in school, there was violence in the school\u2013\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut every country in the world has these issues,\u201d Todd cut in again. \u201cBut they don\u2019t have the easy access to the weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if every country in the world has what we\u2019re seeing of an institutional breakdown in all of our organizations. It\u2019s like spaghetti right now. No one\u2019s talking to each other at the local, state, and federal level. We even saw this at the [Uvalde] shooting, where we had all these different police agencies come, and they\u2019re not communicating with each other, even with the 911 call, that\u2019s at the micro-level. At the macro-level, is just a disjointed policy and disjointed operation of that policy\u2026we\u2019ve got angry young men who are doing most of these killings, whether it be in Chicago or whether it be mass killings. It\u2019s angry young men, and we have got to target our resources toward these angry young men\u2026and somehow prevent them from getting these weapons of mass destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former Republican governor of North Carolina said that \u201cinstitutional breakdown\u201d was to blame for gun violence in America.
