What is wrong with wanting to remove guns from gang members?
If you removed guns from gang bangers, would they not just get more guns? Put the criminals away and you could have 100 guns at every street corner and it would safe.
The problem is not as simple as removing guns; criminals will continue with their behavior regardless of what tool they use to perpetrate. Violent crime did not magically evaporate in the EU and Australia because they banned guns.
The problem here (again very simplified view) is poverty and economics and everything that goes along with it. As long as our politicians want to avoid that, this issue "violence", not "gun violence" is NEVER going away.
Just going to bump this. I've been hearing a lot of "guns are banned in Australia" etc. That's not true at all. You can buy firearms here, providing you pass a safety course, which is incredibly easy. While the laws are still BS, they are definitely not banned. In my local area there are 7 gun shops and two rifle ranges as well as a pistol range. They banned fully automatics and certain military rifles, not guns in general.
If you want to talk banned, look at Singapore or Japan, they have almost eliminated civilian ownership. As for Europe, Germany is the 4th highest in civilian ownership in the world. Australia is 23rd or so last I checked. The U.K. is in the late 40's.
Just to reinstate, I do not agree with the Australian firearm laws. I'm just trying to debunk a common misconception.
