I never, not in a single post, stated that nothing should be done to lower the crime rate! I only stated that strickter regulations of guns werent the right solution.
You pointed out how our homicide rate is 'average', implying that we're making too big a deal out of it when we point out how high it is.

It is completely wrong. How do you think illegal guns get on the streets? Do gun manufacturers set up a manufacturing quota of guns which will be legal and ones which won't? Do they divide distribution between legitimate gun stores and illegal gun runners?
Of course not. Illegal guns don't start out as illegal guns. Obviously, we've let many horses out of the barn already, but that's no reason to continue to leave the doors open.
By all means, though, keep setting up the "banning guns will solve EVERYTHING" strawman that not a single gun control advocate believes.
