The argument that guns, illegal or legal, causes deaths is an old one the antis have made for years. And Obama shows where he is coming from by using the same line.
As has been the tag line by the NRA for years "guns don't kill people, people do" sums up the above very well. Only criminals create crime.
Bottom line is go after the gangbangers, don't go after the guns with even more inane laws that don't work but restrict the law abiding.
That was my point. If he is saying that some guns are "illegal" because they are in the hands of criminals then what should be done is get the criminals off the street not the guns. If criminals have guns I want to now why they are on the street in the first place instead of jail.. Criminals belong behind bars not on the street.
