Taking them away certainly isn't... Criminals don't care about laws... That's kind of the definition.

It's the American way, only do the right thing after you've exhausted every other option

I'm not tracking. You think that taking guns away will somehow make the 1.4 million people abstain from gang violence?

What does the evidence say? I'd bet that taking guns away leads to less gun deaths.

It's weird that nobody banged on about gun rights until the black panthers did.

Not shit sherlock. But taking guns away doesn't lower homicide rates. Odd that you can reduce gun deaths but not reduce deaths overall isn't it?... At this point we're talking in circles. I've covered this so many posts ago with you.

Not sure how this is even remotely relevant.

Yes... I know who and what the Black Panthers are and the history around it...

What's the point of bringing this up in this conversation? How is this relevant to ANYTHING we're discussing?

We're talking about gun control
