What most pro-gun people fail to admit, or even realize, is that it is *because* of the gun laws that bad people have the guns. So it's a vicious circle that will never end:
-> More guns bought by citizens means more eventually find their way into the hands of criminals (or insane people who shoot up malls)
-> Leads to more gun violence (by criminals)
-> More desire and perceived need by citizens to protect themselves
Unfortunately, in the U.S. there's really no way of going back. If the laws were changed prohibiting citizens to purchase or own guns, violence would skyrocket as the only ones with guns would be criminals, eventually. So unless they first get the guns out of the hands of criminals and remove illegal firearms from society, and *then* stop gun sales altogether...
