Criminals will always have guns. But what they've found in most parts of the developed world is that while you'll never eliminate gun crime, you can reduce it enormously through effective regulation. Britain has a lot more crime, per capita, than the United States. But they only have a fraction of our per capita homicides, because its extremely rare for violent criminals to be able to get their hands on a gun.
