We already have gun laws. They don’t stop crime

is an opinion column written by Larry Swickard published on “The Kansas City Star” website on October 2017 that argues that gun control laws will not reduce the crime rate in the US. Swickard’s main argument is that up to date there have been many regulations set up to stop criminal’s and mentally unstable people from purchasing guns, but unfortunately these regulations failed since criminals don’t obey the law in the first place and typically obtain guns through burglary or theft.
