Gun control doesn't work

Totally agree. Guns in the hands of good people prevent a lot of crimes!

I just think that gun control is too often propped up as the answer to issues of violence. It won't work because violence happens for a variety of reasons and trying to take guns away won't fix the root problem. The gun control laws only ever target law abiding citizens, never the criminals.

Amusingly enough a documentary about Canadian firearm ownership (called Up in Arms) touched on the real issue and how to solve it. Focus on the communities. Build them up. Help the kids so they don't get involved in gangs. Start fixing some of those issues and you'll see crime drop quite a bit. But it'd take time to do that.
