Whereas the gunlaws in America do not only allow your random propertycriminal/scumbags/deprived teenagers relatively easy acces to firearms. It also makes them more likely to buy guns as they too want to defend themselves against all the guns privately owned. I think this is a sort of vicious circle as the more power the normal people have, the more power the criminals want to have. This power is way over the lethal threshold with firearms.
I'm probably oversimplifying.

if you are rober, or rapist (for example) would you like your victim to be armed?
and if you are the victim, would you rather have a gun or not?
guns are here already, no bans or laws gonna change that, there is no way to get rid of all guns, illegal onse you can,t track, and take away, so they will be here regardless.
if all registerd guns are taken away(cuz i,m sure as hell you wont find any record of ownership of illegal ones, and adresses where to get them), who will be hurt? the ones who legaly owned them and lost them, or the ones who have them illegaly and still kept them?
who will have a last laugh??
