What would be the most efficient means of keeping guns away from criminals?

49. I am more interested in why the existence of a statistically miniscule number

of gun owners who commit crimes relative to the tens of millions of gun owners in the USA who obey the law somehow justifies the banning of all carrying of firearms in public by anyone other than law enforcement, apart from the fact that such a blanket prohibition would almost certainly be unconstitutional and obviate the "bear" of the right to keep and bear arms.

The existence of criminals does not effectively overrule the First, Fourth, Fifth, etc. Amendments, and I see no rationale canon of jurisprudence that exempts the Second Amendment.

People do bad things with objects. It does not necessarily follow that therefore an object needs to or should be banned.

I am always saddened when fellow liberals suddenly become authoritarian tyrants when it comes to the topic of firearms.
