 Policy Research and Policy Initiatives: The Case of “Gun Control”
While the registered guns are rarely involved in crime, the registration requirement seems not to have affected the use of the regulated types of guns in crime.

 GunCite: Gun Control - Gun Homicides
Contrary to myth and misrepresentation, most murders are not committed by previously law-abiding citizens either going berserk, or because a gun was handy during a moment of uncontrollable rage: suddenly "blow-away" their spouse, friend, neighbor, acquaintance, or all four.

To see where enforcement of the numerous, already existing laws is working and achieving dramatic results in reducing gun related violence and homicide, and intervention programs attempting to strike at "root causes," see enforcing the laws we already have.
