I live in South Dakota, we have very low crime rates, we also have 20,000+ concealed weapons permits issued in this state. California only has 2 concealed weapons permits in the whole state. Compare crime rates and you will find our per/capita rates are significantly lower. Do criminals ask themselves if their victims or a nearby witness may be carrying a gun?

The fact is gun control will only regulate the guns owned by law abiding citizens, aka, the citizens who have the ability to prevent crime. In addition, we can't afford to start a "war on guns" as it will just become another innefective money pit just like the "war on drugs".

Some people, I agree, should not own guns, but how do you single that small percentage out? Apparently, a background check is worthless. I don't have a solution, but neither does anyone who supports gun control. It WON'T work!
