It should be noted that the reason we have the 2nd amendment is not for self defense.(the founders never would have dreamed of a world where you could not defend yourself) The reason for the 2nd amendment is to keep the government from going bat**** insane. Gun control works great for the criminals, be it a petty thief or a government.
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up and exterminated.
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, 13 million Jews and others were rounded up and exterminated.
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians were rounded up and exterminated.
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians were rounded up and exterminated.
Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people were rounded up and exterminated."
Both the UK and Australia have extremely restrictive gun control and a growing crime problem as a result of it. In the states with relaxed gun control crime is down, way down. Even if Hawaii has low gun crime, that just shows how responsible the gun owners are. Increasing gun control will not decrease crime and decreasing gun control will not increase crime. An armed populace will prevent scary government and many many other crimes.
“Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.”
