Several arguments by those who support gun control have provoked thought in many people and have caused them to move towards the anti-gun side of the argument. Some that I have heard are "Reducing gun control can lead to an increase in deaths because it is giving more people the opportunity to own guns and take advantage of it." and when I say gun control does not work people say "What does?". The fist argument is completely false and the second has an answer that gets results, and it's not gun control.
The first argument is not true because stats show that gun control has not decreased violence or stopped massacres in other countries and US states that have passed strict gun laws. Several massacres have happened in states that passed strict gun laws. In 1994 Connecticut banned assault weapons but in 2012 Sandy Hook happened. In California assault weapons were banned in 1989 yet San bernardino took place. After sandy hook; Colorado limited the size of magazines,however it did not stop the planned parenthood shooting. During the nationwide assault weapons ban of 1994-2004 there were multiple rampage shootings; including the infamous Columbine. Another study that was done by the Washington post showed "Zero correlation between state homicide rate and state gun laws." Here's the link  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/10/06/zero-correlation-between-state-homicide-rate-and-state-gun-laws/
I also mentioned in my previous posts how the gun bans in the UK and Australia were complete failures. There is also proof that the myth of more guns meaning more crime is completely false. The city of Kennesaw, Georgia has a law that requires all households to have a firearm with usable ammo; with the exceptions of felons, the mentally disabled, those in poverty, etc. since the passage of the law the violent crime in Kennsaw is 85% lower than the rest of Georgia.

The other point is that people ask that "What does work?". I have the exact solution. It's called project exile. Project exile was passed by Richmond, VA. The goal was crime reduction; this was done by implementing the rule that if you commit a crime with a firearm you get five years in jail. The program was considered a major success as the city saw great improvements with crime rates and many US cities copied the program. The law is supported by both the Brady Campaign and the National Rifle Association, so it leaves both sides happy. This program is our solution to the violence problem in America, by locking up the bad guys and leaving law abiding citizens alone.
