As Australia has proven, reducing the number of guns, reduces the number of guns in the hands of bad guys. Which makes sense, when you think of it. I mean, the more guns, the more likely they are to land in the hands of bad guys. They can be stolen or sold by people who care more about the money than the criminal intent of the buyer. The latter is the source of most of the guns in places with strict gun control. Now this can be reduced by registering all weapons and requiring they be documented every time they are transferred. That is what Switzerland does, for example. And they have a very low level of gun violence with a very high level of gun ownership. So far, these are the two models we know work. What we know doesn't work is virtually unrestricted gun ownership with almost no tracking.
