Most these arguments seem to completely miss the actual issue. It's quite normal to hear a crime described in terms of "Motive, Means, Opportunity". People bring the Motive. Guns bring a Means. Neither exists in a vacuum. "Gun control" boils down to how you propose to attack this. So far, we haven't found a good way to control Motive. So we're left with restricting Opportunity - eg, metal detectors on US schools - or Means, eg, gun control in the rest of the civilized world.
