I don't understand the argument that guns are needed for defense. Gun crime would go down if they were taken away, surely that's the fix?
No. It's cliche, but it's true, if you ban guns, only criminals will have them. Almost all guns used in crimes are illegally acquired.
In the United States the cities with the worst gun crime rates have the toughest gun laws.
Chicago is the best example. In DC, crime actually declined after they legalized handguns (they had been outlawed).
