Again, violent crime rates are not going to be affected by restricting just one of means.

Even assuming that you could make a gun law that restricts the criminal element as much as it does the potential victims, which you can't, all that means is those with evil on their minds will just use another tool to do what they risk the death penalty to do.

As I said to Tarjak on the preceeding page, if you want to reduce violent crime then you need to address the CAUSES of violent crime. Just taking the guns away almost exclusively from the potential victims of violent crime is just not going to do it.
