You have to remember that these hooligans don't only come from disadvantaged backgrounds, and many of them are living happily enough in well-paid jobs. They can afford a £40 team shirt and tickets for the games, the cost of travel all over the country and abroad (you take the fights with you) and so on. That doesn't come cheap.
So it's not people on the scrap-heap of society, it's people who like a fight and want to make trouble. It's too simplistic to say that they're "oppressed" by anything at all, other than their own tiny minds.
It doesn't matter if you've got gun control or not. Knowing the difference between right or wrong comes irrespective of guns, along with respect of others. There's just a culture of intense rivalry between footy teams, which some take far too far.
