We have so many illegal firearms, because we have so many legal ones. In countries where there are fewer firearms, FREE countries, developed countries, there are far fewer crimes committed with firearms. Their crime rate is lower, or involves far less serious force when it does occur than our gun violence.
These crimes, the notion that a firearm gives one person power over another, is the essence of our gun culture; it is entirely about controlling people, coercing people, threatening people, and if the world doesn't go your way, killing or injuring people.
