All you have to do is compare the crime rates to gun strict states to non gun strict states, and that is all the information that you need to see; that gun restrictions endanger the public.
When the bad guys, who are going to get gun no matter what, don't have to worry about citizens firing back at them, they're is going to always be more crime.
Chicago has the strictest gun rules in the country (next to New York of course), and they have more murders a month than anywhere else in America.

But weren't the gun restrictions in these areas an attempt to deal with a pre-existing gang problems?
-
If it was it sure as hell didn't work. Give the citizens guns to fight back and I guarantee you the gangs will go somewhere else.
-
Has there ever been gangs in Texas?
-
There are but they mainly come up from Mexico hence why you NEED a gun to protect yourself.
-
No. Gun restrictions are simply a way in which the government attempts to control the people. Pure and simple.
-
Yup, and that has not worked obviously
-
However using these places as examples is clearly misleading as even prior to restriction (when guns were more freely available), they were troublesome areas. Its not a point either camp should make given than it highlights things neither side want to see
-
Facts. Facts all around.

Camden NJ is the same way. The entire state has strict gun laws but the city has made it onto the most dangerous city in the US multiple times. Criminals don't care. They'll get a friend, family member, or buy it from a friend to get one.

Yep. I live 5 min from camden and I used to work there. Its terrible. I could go there and get an illegal gun fairly easily.
