Clearly, there is no way to eradicate all gun-related violence---not with all the guns already available, and not with the ongoing strength of the gun interests. Well-crafted laws can significantly reduce incidents of gun-related deaths and injuries, and that should be our goal. Don't ever fall for the other side's "Hey, there are lots of gun control laws in place, but people keep getting shot---so why don't we just give up and let the Law of the Jungle apply?" deflection technique.
