Gun control advocates say that their draconian laws would reduce "gun crime". Of course it would. There would be less guns. However what they don't address is violent crime. There has been a plethora of evidence that suggests not only does violent crime not get addressed in countries who imposed effective gun bans but that it increased. Then they fly the victory flag because there is less "gun crime".

The most logical approach to this is of course to reduce criminals. While a certain percentage of people will always be criminals no matter their circumstances. Quite a bit of the criminal element can be prevented from becoming criminals and reformed through effective social policy.

To put it simply "Gun control" is putting a band aid on a bullet wound. You want to be safe make others feel secure in the livelihood and work to reduce desperation.
