| Of course, banning civilian possession of firearms might reduce the crime rate a little, but not very significantly since they can still get firearms from the black market. And also, even when we do legalize firearm possession the smart criminals will still go for the black market since it's next to impossible to trace the gun back to him. On the other hand, if we do ban the firearms the very people that we're trying to protect will find themselves without any thing to defend them whereas the criminals will still have a source to supply them with the firearms they need. Just my opinion. |
