This is friggen crazy...
Gun laws are not to be equated with reducing crime, inevitably a dissection of such a proposed "cause and effect" will be inconclusive. Gun laws should be equated with safety. If someone wants to own a gun I say go ahead BUT, you better know how to own a gun... The only way to do that is a comprehensive screening/training program. What gun nuts interprit this measure as is "gun control" by bleeding heart liberals.. Not so.. It's about safe handling, proper storage and keeping guns out of the hands of people who, for reasons of sanity and/or past criminal behaviour, do not deserve to own a gun - for SAFETY reasons..
Don't forget that government provides for our collective safety, among other things, and government has a right to govern - for everyones sake.
