This editorial from the Columbia Chronicle Online, makes me wonder whats in the water up there in Chicago. (Or at least what color the sky is in their world.) Eric Alexy, the copy editor of this college paper, apparently knows everything and has the solution to all the worlds crime.

Starting at the root of the problem, it would seem reasonable to get rid of all the guns currently in circulation, not permit the production of more of them. [...]

Odds are that if all guns were slowly eliminated-banned, melted down, whatever-the problem with people dying from guns would eventually go away.

Eventually, cops wouldn't even need to carry guns. If guns were completely illegal, it would be a lot easier to tell which guy with a gun under the seat of his car or in his pants' pocket in line at the grocery store is a criminal: all of them.
