This is the failure of gun control laws: the idea that criminals will act against their nature, lay down arms, and stop being criminals simply because some act is illegal. Not only is this idea ignorant, it is also dangerous, because the same proponents of this sort of failed public policy also believe that disarming those who would defend themselves against criminals are the same as those criminals. Unfortunately, as with economics, those that tend to be the most vocal are also the most ignorant, but at least the hoplophobes are in the minority.
