When the government would not control illegal purchasing of guns how then do they expect to reduce the crime rate?
Take a look at a crime rate chart for the last 30 years. The gun laws we have now have been the same since 1968 iirc. Look at that chart and tell me if the crime rate is really the problem.....or is it that EVERY shooting goes viral in minutes with the advent of the internet.
The news/internet/social media makes you believe its Armageddon. But a review of actual statistics tells otherwise
