Actually, it has been statistically proven-PROVEN- that gun control INCREASES the crime rate in America. See, prohibition didn't take booze from criminals. Banning weed didn't take it away from criminals. In America, we have almost no border security. Which is both why so many mexicans can simply walk over the border and also why all bans and control laws fail here. Gun control solely determines whether or not victims can fight back. Michigan- which used to have the number one murder city(Detroit)had gun control. They decided to pass right to carry laws. Citizens suddenly had the right to carry guns everywhere. The crime rate dropped, and it has stayed low. In new england, the state with the lowest crime rate is Vermont. They have the least gun control. The state with the highest, (I believe it is massachussets) has the most gun control. What's more, while the states in New England with the highest crime rate aren't a COMPLETE inversion of the states with the least gun control, they are pretty close. Ultimately, Australia and Great Britain ENFORCE their borders. The USA does not because a bunch of actors in Hollywood and corporate lobbysists think it would be racist to treat Mexicans like everybody else, and pump up border security to deal with our problems. Ulimately, I LIVE in a state with high gun control, California. California does not recognize right to carry. I was recently robbed and my arm was broken.
Morever, when the Supreme Court overturned many of the gun control laws in Illinois, Obama's home state, the crime rate was LOWERED.
So, in conclusion, you anti-gun activists: DO FREAKING RESEARCH. The crime rate in America is DIRECTLY proportional to the amount of gun control. The more gun control, the more crime. Britain might enforce it's borders, but in USA we don't, due to bigots who hate the idea of treating Mexicans equally. We should be increasing legal immigration, not simply letting them wander over the border and be exploited by wal-mart and home depot. But since that is what we are doing, all bans and control laws are an exercise in stupidity.
