DUI deaths are comparable with gun violence deaths. I don’t see anyone saying “if we could just get rid of all wine and beer in this country, we will be better off.” Or “even if we can save just 1 person from dying in a DUI incident, that will make outlawing all private vehicle ownership across the country worthwhile.”
Oh no, we just CAN’T abolish those PRIVILEGES that would affect everyone, (gun owners AND gun rights abolishers). There would be an outcry from everyone over the government overstepping their authority. But since it’s about guns, gun rights abolishers are ok with abolishing a constitutional right enjoyed by their fellow Americans.

Gun control is not about controlling guns. It is about controlling the people.
All political power comes from the end of a gun barrel.
The majority of gun crimes are done by Democrats, especially in Democrat places.
Criminals don't obey the law, that's why they are criminals.
Look up gun homicide rate 1885 to 2012.
You will see that each time gun control was instituted, gun crimes went UP.
Each time a little gun rights were restored, gun crimes went DOWN.
Also, eliminating gun rights just causes all other crimes to skyrocket.
“The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right."Nunn vs. State, 1846
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”― Thomas Jefferson, Complete Jefferson
"To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm . . . is an unwarranted restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege."Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878)"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)
My rights do not end where others fears begin.

You right the solution to gun control is even more criminals with guns, so long as criminals have guns, gun nuts are happy

You are mistaken....
The Left just wants control and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms makes armed opposition to that Control a possibility that scares them. - Hence the Fence and Armed National Guard in DC while our Borders remain open during a Pandemic.

Ask a "liberal" if she knows that 60%+ of deaths due to firearms are in fact suicides.
Watch her eyes glaze over as she starts babbling nonsense before changing the subject to something totally irrelevant. "Liberals"...sad, so very, VERY sad. <sigh>

@EdWinter, how, precisely, does that excuse or justify the 10,000+ people every year who are murdered by people using guns? You're as big an idiot as @Gungie 2. Neither of you have any idea what you're talking about.
@Gungie 2, the pre-programmed decompostion chatbot, do you not grasp that using your handler's logic, we shouldn't have any laws at all because criminals don't obey them anyway? So you don't like any laws at all because criminals don't follow them. Clearly, you have no idea what you're talking about. No one claims strict gun laws will reduce shootings to zero. What strict gun laws do, and do very well, is greatly lower the incidence of gun violence, as many blue states and all the rest of the first world industrialized nations prove.

Of course they don't. Liberals rarely spend any time thinking about the unintended consequences of their actions.
By the very definition of the word, criminals will ignore those gun control laws, just like they do other laws.

The point is to keep guns out of potential criminals hands in the first place.

And they can be arrested for it and go to prison, meaning one less gun-toting punk.
The penalty for carrying an illegal concealed firearm is quite harsh here. 🇨🇦
