Take chicago for example, the city has some of, if not the most restrictive and harsh gun control laws in the country, are they known as being a peaceful and safe city? No, they are not, chicago is known for its all pervasive crime presence and baffling death rates. Why is this you may ask yourself? Shouldn't all the laws keep everyone safe? Shouldn't anyone have guns? Well the issue with that is quite simple. Criminals don't follow the law and don't even feel like it's relevant to them. So a law is passed that says it illegal to own a handgun, our criminal friend (lets call him reggie) finds out about this law, at the time of reggie learning of this law he has his favorite handgun on his person (which is already illegal) and four more at home (all of which are unregistered which is also illegal). At learning of this new law does he turn all of his handguns over to the police because it's the law? No, he rolls his eyes and decides to double down and buy five more illegal handguns. Why does he do this you may ask? Simple answer, reggie is a criminal and couldn't give a damn about the law even if he tried. Chicago, with its boa constrictor strict gun laws has one of the highest violence per capita rates not in the country (which its number one) it's one of the highest in the world, if chicago were its own country it would be one of the most dangerous on the planet. It is known to be more dangerous than the battlefields of the middle east, for every soldier that dies over in the middle east, four people die in chicago, think about that for a moment. There happens to be a correlation between strict gun laws and heightened gun violence, and its not a good one. In states where concealed carry is legal, there is about half the amount of crime as where there isn't concealed carry, due to criminals having zero regard for the laws in place and the
