If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of gun control laws should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates being reduced by such legislation. However, that they cannot do so, even after more than a century and a half of trying. The Southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the Northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, and the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 clearly establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of anti-gun legislation to control serious crime in America.

People kill people. A gun has never killed anyone.

Take away the People's guns, and then only criminals and agents of the government (as if there is ANY distinction between the two these days) will possess them. History proves that never works out well. If someone wants to kill a bunch of [disarmed] people en masse, then they will find a way to do it, no matter what laws are enacted. History proves that too. A mass murderer can imagine lots of ways to kill a lot of people without ever using guns.

Criminals don't give a damn about laws. That's why they're called "criminals." Proof of the fact that gun control laws don't work are cities like Chicago and New York City, and other Democrat-controlled cesspools, with their Draconian and unconstitutional gun laws, which have the highest gun crime rates in our nation.
