Gun Control

Can someone kindly provide a non-biased, definitive source showing that gun control has a negative effect? All the ones posted here are from NRA or some other obviously biased source with unbacked allegations.

Pithy, but pretty much sums it up.  Gun control would work just fine (for stopping gun-crime) IF there were no way of obtaining guns other than through legal means.  Even if we completely outlawed guns everywhere, no one would be able to stop gun runners from getting arms to the people who want them.  You can easily see this principle in practice in our drug prohibition.  Drugs are illegal, but there's just no feasible way to ever stop the influx of drugs into the country.  Guns and gun control is more or less the same.

And that's not even taking the whole 2nd Amendment into account.

>>and I'll say here "Education, not Legislation"
Seconded.
