    Doesn't surprise me at all.

    Reasons gun control doesn't work:

    1. Criminals by definition break the law .

    2. Criminals get guns from family or friends, not gun shows or gun stores.

    3. Preventing law -abiding citizens from attaining guns will only help criminals by keeping guns away from law-abiding citizens.
