I'm surprised you'd quote KRS-One... he's pretty cool!
I'd say in the words of Earl "DMX" Simmons (since we're quoting hip hop here):
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people!"

There are so many logical, and well thought out arguments that state how guns are not to blame, but I've yet to see any reasonable arguments supporting making us like the UK... For one, I think Uncle Ted put it very bluntly on CNN:
"Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control [meaning more of it!] you have the highest violent crime rate." Facts, right there! But Anti's hate that dreaded F-word!
