Besides that, there are also reasons why the gun control does not seem to work and that criminals do not obey gun control laws. They get their weapons through illegal channels.
Background checks have no bearing on criminals. “A background check most likely won’t stop them.” A study found that only about 10.1% obtained their firearms through a retail source .
Although criminals would allow themselves to be background checked, we have seen that it is not effective enough to stop those who intend to commit crimes with weapons.
The killings have been seen going down in the cities where it is decided to give harsh punishments for gun criminals and solid police work is encouraged.
It has been seen to work well in Chicago. In Chicago, it is unlawful to own most semi-automatic firearms . It has been shown for several decades that the fight against crime works.
A good example of this is the program "Project Exile". It was about enforcing existing gun laws and imposing long sentences on drug dealers and other criminals who were illegal to carry firearms.
Project Exile was a huge success law enforcement took hundreds of illegal weapons off the streets. As a result, the homicide rate dropped. Up to several cities had great success with the program.
Project Exile shows that focusing on gun criminals, not placing unnecessary burdens on law-abiding citizens, is the best way to curb violent crime and make people safer.
