Name one problem that you have with "uncontrolled" guns that you
don't with controlled ones.

Crap. The kind of crime that guns stop isn't the kind solved with
"better social conditions". Rape has nothing to do with how much money _either_

Stop and take a hard look at who kills who with guns and why.
