Charlton Heston
In Michael Moore's Bowling Columbine movie, Charlton Heston gave the answer.
Politically incorrect but true:
Moore: Why does Canada with Gun Control Laws have so much less crime than America.
Heston: Perhaps it has more to do with the people with different ETHNICITIES in America.
Moore: WHAT ? WHat do you mean by that?
Heston: There are different numbers of people of certain ethnicity in America vs Canada. ... Different backgrounds
Moore: What are you trying to say.
Heston: The interview is over, I have nothing else to say.

Guns don't kill people, People do.
You can kill someone with a pitchfork or with a car should we ban those too?

Re: Charlton Heston
Simply look up US crime statistics:
Look at the breakdown by race on who commits violent crime.
Also look up crime statistics on other countries by country and by race.
Draw your own conclusions but clearly guns are not the issue here.
