It is very easy to prove that gun crimes a problem in this country. The fact that "most crimes are committed by criminals" has nothing to do wit this because none of the proposed legislation is aimed at stopping la abiding citizens from owning guns. That is just the big lie that all pro-gun people try to put on the argument.
I agree with you on one point. So called "assault rifles" are not part of the problem as long as we outlaw high capacity magazines.
BY FAR the biggest problem is how easy it is for criminals to obtain and possess guns to use in crimes. Requiring gun ownership registration, and gun owner licensing would make it much easier for police to enforce laws already on the book regarding illegal possession and/or sale of firearms. It would also make it possible to hold "law abiding gun owners" responsible for damage done by their guns. Right now if a person is stopped while driving a car it is simple for the officer to determine if that person is allowed to drive a car and who is responsible for the car. But when a person is stopped in possession of a gun it is sometimes either impossible or to complicated a procedure to justify detaining the person.
People who oppose laws that would not restrict ownership by law-abiding citizens are basically fighting to protect criminals use of guns.
