Weltall, as usual your points are completely nonsensical. For proof look at Europe and Japan. They ban guns. Gun violence, while there because of black-market guns, is low. Thus restricting/banning guns greatly cuts violence. Simple math.
Now... does it stop ALL violence? Does it keep ALL people from getting black-market guns, or stealing them? Of course not! But it does for the vast, vast majority of people. Your "arguement" here has no sense and no logical backing...
Or do you mean something else? I hope so, because if that's what you mean its completely ridiculous.
No, not nonsensical because you ignore the major difference between America and Europe: There's a huge drug market here, far, far larger and more virulent than Europe or Japan. Because of that, there's an exponentially larger black arms market in America than elsewhere. I don't know why you ignore or don't understand that basic fact. Do you honestly think it means nothing? Where is America's violent crime based in? Inner cities. What else thrives in America's inner cities?
Ding ding ding!
In contrast, Rural areas, which have, by far, the highest concentration of legal gun ownership and the lowest concentration of drug trade, has by far the lowest amounts of violent crime. Coincidence? No, it's obvious fact that I know you'll continue to ignore because it makes your position worth shit.

Books, and the lying liars that write them.
