Gun control advocates often argue that if we offer just enough restrictions, it’ll keep criminals from getting guns. At that point, we won’t have to worry about “gun violence” at all. The problem will be solved.
Those of us on the other side of the debate will point out that since none of the gun control laws on the books have worked thus far, why should we jump for still more restrictions? After all, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
But, for the sake of argument, let’s take a look at the idea that with sufficient restrictions, we can keep guns out of criminals’ hands. If that’s the case, then who did these guys get not just guns, but drugs too.
