Gun control is reasonable, but won’t solve all crime

I think the current gun control laws are reasonable. To have a brief waiting period in some states, to have control over some weapons of powerful destructive capabilities, I think is reasonable. I don’t think the control of guns, however, ultimately is the solution to crime. I think effective crime prevention programs are much more effective, and that’s where I put my focus.
