What is your take on the efficacy of gun control as a crime control tool?

Fr_Chuck gave this response on 2/21/2000:

I look at Austrila ( poor spelling sorry) normal people can not have guns, but the criminals do, the common people live in fear, with high security, and even the police are in fear many times

I personally own several guns for home defence, even got a special shot gun for my wife and taught her to use it. I have a permit for a concelled weapon and carry it on many trips out.

While I trust God for protection, I believe that he allows me to be armed for my protection.

I look at Christ and the disciples, at the Garden when they came to get Christ, one took a sword, ( guess that means at least one or more carried a sword)
