Sonya]So, to understand the anti-gun control argument, because we cannot completely prevent an evil, we no longer take measures to mitigate it?
Understand that you don't mitigate the problem by taking away law abiding citizens means to defend themselves. Criminals act outside of the law so what will further legislation accomplish?
I remember a statistic (vaguely remember so don't quote me exactly) that in Canada there are more guns per capita than there are in the USA but about 1/20th of the violent gun crimes. I chalk it up to a cultural problem in the USA, again the whole "will" vs. "way" argument.
