The point is that societies do not exist in a vacuum where something like a crime rate is affected by a singular factor (the availability of a particular weapon). I don't understand why people don't focus on the actual problem: criminals. And in particular: people who want to kill as many people as possible. A gun sitting on their desk, or knowing that one can be easily purchased at Walmart does not cause people to be criminals or mass murderers.

I don't disagree that there aren't more factors. All of which need to be addressed. But an assault-style weapon easily purchased at Wal-Mart makes a future Newtown killer's job so much easier, don't you agree?
