7. What reality? Crime is always a problem.

Not just "Gun crime", but -all- crime. Getting rid of gun crime won't stop knife crime, bat crime, fist crime, gang crime or blue-collar crime, but addressing and treating the root cause of criminality as a whole -will- stop gun crime, as well as the rest of them. Aye, I'm concerned with the harsh reality that crime is a bad thing, not just because of the weapon or tool used in it.

And that's where we differ, and I think we'll never be able to reconcile between the two viewpoints. You're so fixated on stopping the "Gun", that you're ignoring the "Crime" part.
