I have never believed that the politicians who advocate gun control actually cared about crime. Many of them just want to be seen as "doing something". Like a friend of my whose favorite saying was, "Let's go do something even if we do it wrong." We usually did it wrong. Others, more malignant, want gun control in order to gain more power to order ordinary people around in ways that would be dangerous as long as we are armed. Either way, nobody has given me any reason to believe that gun control will solve the problem of violence any better than Prohibition solved the problem of drunkeness or our War on Drugs has eliminated crack cocaine from our inner cities.
