There does not seem to be any verifiable correlation between gun crimes and the absence or presence of gun control laws. There are places without gun control that are very peaceful and there are places with stiff gun laws where the violent crime rate is through the roof. The crime rate would seem to ultimately be more a societal thing. Some societies seem to be inherently more violent than others. And therein lies the catch...
Too many people get wrapped around the axle over guns, thinking that they are the problem. Ultimately however, the issue is crime, not guns (or at least it should be). We need to stop treating the symptoms and go after the disease.
