stricts american laws failed in their crime ridden cities,
and strict canadian laws failed to make canada an alreaddy wonderfully low crime rate any better
it lools like strict laws dont control criminals anywhere.
Think gun death stats are alarming? As many as 250,000 people die each year in the US from medical errors

Do we plan on banning hospitals? Hell, we can hardly even get rid of bad doctors.

Just a minute!
In 1966, you could walk into a store and buy a semi-auto M1 Carbine and as many 30 round magazines as you wanted, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition............as long as you looked like you were 17 years old and had the money. No license. No training. No ID required. No background check. No waiting period.
Nothing.
As long as you were 17 years old, it was as easy as buying a Mars bar.
If the U.S. hadn't passed gun control after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, President Reagan might have been shot!
When Nancy saw how little damage that .22 bullet did to Ronnie, she traded up the zircon-encrusted Gucci Derringer in her hand bag for something with a bigger calibre.
Why?
You don't like freedom?
The murder rate then was the same as now..........despite us having much improved emergency trauma treatment.
Which means there were actually fewer attempts in 1966.
That many people who "don't like guns" do want to ban them.
The question for rational people is whether guns are or are not a net social good, with all that implies.
The answer is almost certainly neither yes nor no, but rather more or less.
It seems fairly self-evident to me that limiting the ammunition capacity of guns available to the civilian populace, for example, retains the value of guns whilst making mass shootings more difficult and less effective.
As I have said before, I also approve of ammunition control. I think every gun owner should be limited to keeping 20 rounds of ammunition for each calibre of gun she owns. Plenty for hunting and self defence. If you want to shoot more, buy it at the range and shoot it there. If social order decays to the point of revolution or chaos, larger quantities of ammo will be available.
I approve of that as well. Particularly with "long guns" getting shorter and more easily concealable, as with a couple of carbines I own. . .
