   	Not too much but I barely count youth gangs as really organized   
   crime.  They represent to me an attempt to control the aggression   
   exercised against youth in general by creating semi-protective   
   organizations,

   	Yes but those are local gangs.   
   	Not the same thing as really organized crime

   	Not in all other countries.  I have owned several guns in   
   my lifetime and never had to shoot anyone but then my crimes are   
   hardly noticeable. ;^)   
   	I learned to shoot in the military many years ago and   
   I have driven intruders from the apartment building where I live   
   many years back by presenting the proper stance and moving faster   
   than the intruders.  Years ago before I got my refractory fatigue   
   syndrome and still was riding my motorcycle all over the state of   
   California.   
      
   	Fpr a drive-by shooting you need a driver and a shooter.   
   Shooting and driving are each too important to be done by the   
   same individual.  When road rage rules the shooter/driver almost   
   always misses the target.

   	Well it makes a good story but I would imagine that in reality   
   such situation are far fewer than in manga.

   	I don't know why you want to add the > to your mail but   
   when I add a url I insert via the keyboard a pair of "<>", cursor   
   between them and insert my copied url.  I hope this helps as obviously   
   you can add ">" as you did above.
