I have to agree fixing poverty will help everyone. Good luck with that though.
This was rehashed over and over again on other threads. There are lots of stats that shows the guns used in the crimes are illegally brought in from out of state where background checks are not required.

Gun's don't kill people without a person holding onto it and unfortunately good people sell guns to bad guys. I am all for good guys having guns and bad guys not. So they need to stop the problem at the source rather than going in circle arguments.
