Race is the quickest identifier when sorting out suspects.
As to what the gun controllers really want; They want to disarm everybody except themselves. Remember the left wing anti-gun reporter who shot a teenager for skinny dipping in his pool? That's them.
I'm for sensible gun legislation. . not taking guns from idiots. I mean sheesh, if you want to own a gun its darwinism at its best.
Seems simple
1 - Registration/Permit. You can't be crazy, or a criminal, you must be TRAINED to use the weapon, store it, etc.
2 - sales tracked of guns. You buy a gun, no mater who you transfer it, that sell should be registered
3- lost gun pentalities. If you keep losing your guns. . .you can't keep getting more. (i.e. some way to curb black market)
4 - gunpowder markers. All ammo registered. You buy a bullet, use a bullet, it leaves a mark. Police can track it back
5 - stiff fines (and possible losing your permit) for unsecured firearms
6 - Local states, business, and persons will have the right to refuse weapons at their establishment.
All of the above allows you to buy any gun you want and use it responsibility. . .while reducing crime/etc
one can hope
hell, i could loosen Number 2 if we did number 4 (marked gun powder and registered ammo, not the guns)

Vermont gets killed for being too liberal, but they have some of the most liberal gun laws in the US. Pretty much anyone can carry, without licensing or permits. Vermont also has basically zero violent crime, why is that?

Honest answer is because Vermont is one of the wealthiest and highly educated and literate states in the union. Wealthy college educated people don't have to resort to drug dealing for income nor do they tend not to get all shooty in arguments.

Vermont Crime -
1) Gun Law restrictions follow crime. It is, no doubt, Vermont having low crime that allows for its liberal gun rights. I.e. Vermont would start taking away "rights" if there was a few nice spree killings, etc. or uncontrollable homicide rates (see Detroit, NYC, Chicago).
2) very low population (49th out of 50th).
3) no minorities (seriously its 95% white). Technically speaking most gun violence is a minority issue

Bottom Line: If Chicago looked like the above, it wouldn't need gun control either
Also - gun control in the US is a joke, as long as you drive a few miles down the road for different rules
So...based on your post, it sounds like minorities are the problem when it comes to gun crimes. I don't think anyone would disagree with you.
What do you propose we do with these minorities since minorities, and not guns, are the problem?
