The point is guns are out of control. Something has to been done and not just lip service.

Guns are under quite a bit of control. The exceptions are statistical blips but amplified by media and emotions.  Very similar to plane crashes actually.

If only that something was aimed at the criminal use of guns rather than disarming innocent law-abiding civilians...

You'd be referring to mandatory sentencing which is fiercely opposed as racist.  All other gun control laws only impact the law-abiding by definition.

Unless you live by a major city where someone gets killed every day.

I'm not referring to any specific law(s.) I'm referring to the idea that when people talk about increasing gun control they generally are talking about placing limits on law-abiding citizens, they're not talking about limiting criminals. (well, maybe they talk about criminals but anything they propose is typically aimed at the law-abiding.)

Right, the only way to curb gun violence is by imposing stronger minimum sentences.  Right now if the ganbanger gets caught with a gun he's back on the street the next day.  Put him away for 10 years and things will change.

I guess it would make the person getting killed feel better if it was a legal gun?

It rarely is a legal gun.
Most murders (At least in high-crime cities, I assume that's what we're still talking about) are gangbangers killing each other.

And the ones that are legal guns, I'll bet most of them are cases where the victim was specifically targeted and the murderer would probably try some other method if he didn't have a gun.

Come down farther south. Everyone carries safely and legally. The ranges are fantastic fun.
