Toolz,

This is my only point in this debate. I think alot of problems could be solved if as a country we looked to the States or local gov't for these laws and not the Federal gov't where it is too broad.

I may be wrong, but I bet any state or local gov't that passed severe gun control laws would find that gun crime goes up. In fact, I think this is already the case in DC.

When a criminal is looking to perpetrate a crime (with or without a gun), he is more likely to do it in a place where he does not think there are going to be victims with the means defend themselves.
