They would like to see criminals disarmed and they want the random violence to stop. I agree with this, however, they are going about doing so in the wrong way. While claiming that they want to take guns out of the hands of criminals, they work to pass legislation that would take the guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens instead. For this reason, the efforts at gun control do not address the real problem of crime. (Kopel 1).
In simple terms the definition of a law-abiding citizen is someone who obeys the law and the definition of a criminal is someone who does not obey the law. If we pass laws restricting ownership of firearms, which category of the people does it affect? The answer is that gun control laws affect law-abiding citizens only. By their very nature, the criminals will continue to violate these new laws and continue to carry firearms, regardless of the law. Criminals will continue to find crime much easier knowing that when they attack their victims that they will be most likely be unarmed. Innocent people are turned into victims when new laws make it impossible for them to fight back. An unarmed man stands a very little chance against an armed one. .

However, even larger number of Federal offenders were involved with firearms. Considering all Federal sentences, firearms were involved in the crimes of 6,987 offenders, a sixth of those sentenced under guidelines in the 12 months ending September 30, 1993." (Carlson 1) It is a fact that guns have contributed to some of the largest crimes in the United States history. For example, Martin Luther King and John F. Kennedy are two of the more talked about cases and more recently, the shooting spree at Columbine High School.
