Making gun ownership illegal isn’t much good against people who don’t obey the law. Even in countries with very strict anti-gun laws the criminals seem to have no trouble getting them.
Banning guns just puts law abiding people at a disadvantage. Gun free zones turn innocent people into sitting ducks.
In nations like Japan the murder rate would be very low even if everyone owned a firearm. In the US the murder rate would be as high even if guns were generally confiscated.
If only the police had guns criminals would kill policemen to steal their guns.
The murder rate in US cities is proportional to the strictness of gun control - as much cause as effect.
