The focus of gun control should not be placed on the guns themselves, not on the people. This reinforces the popular saying, "guns don't kill people, people kill people" (Nathan Poole) .
When our government makes a law to control its firearms, it is just trying to keep guns in the proper hands. Nobody wants a felon, murderer, or rapist walking around with a concealed weapon. At the same time, the average hunter shouldn't have to be bombarded with laws that are not even relevant to him or her. In some ways the term "gun control" can be very misleading. A gun will do what it was designed to do, and that is to shoot. The only way a gun can be controlled is by the holder. In reality, the government is controlling the people not the guns. "People control" is not what Americans want; we already get too much of this with other laws and we do not need more. I know of many people who are against gun control but don't own a gun. Instead they are against violence. Reducing the number of gun crimes is what this is all about. .

Well, "When everybody in a place is armed, the bad guys don't want to go there," says Geuda Springs Councilman John Brewer, a Libertarian, who introduced a law that requires the head of each household to own a gun (Joyce Howard Price). With a population just over two hundred, crime is already at an all time low in Geuda Springs. This may explain why the town does not have a police force.
