Fewer guns? How about fewer criminals?

With all this talk about gun control, weapon bans, etc...it just doesn't make any sense to me that lowering the number of guns will reduce crime. Maybe I'm dead wrong here, but the last time I checked, the way to lower crime was to lower the number of criminals on the streets committing those crimes. Doesn't that make logical sense? Gun restrictions and magazine capacity limits in various states across the country have only lead to an increase in crime. The UK has banned guns altogether and yet they still have higher crime rates in all violent crime categories other than rape and murder. Coincidence? I think not. Australia is in the same boat, or should I say sinking ship.

I'm tired of the liberal gun ban happy hippies blaming inanimate objects for crimes. BLAME THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE. Oh, but we can't do that, that's insensitive, that's racists, that's discriminatory. It's not their fault, they live in tough neighborhoods, they don't have fathers, blah blah blah. You want to be an adult? Act like one. Take responsibility.

And speaking of taking responsibility, when are we going to take the responsibility of holding people accountable for their actions?
