So, all discussions of statistics aside, can someone give me a logical argument as to why it is that simply because criminals (those who disregard/disobey the law) are comitting crimes using guns, that the logical solution is to pass a law, which they will ignore anyway, that will disarm their potential victims, who would abide by the law?
Laws restricting gun ownership do nothing to affect those who are already disobeying the laws. All it accomplishes is reducing the ability of the law-abiding to defend themselves. I would offer instead that laws against the -illegal use- of firearms would be more effective, but of course only if they are strongly enforced.
