Clearly the violent crime rate has dropped significantly without implementing any onerous gun control. Why?

Clearly the "assault weapons" legislation had no impact because the trend was downward before, during and after it was implemented and went away. Why?

Perhaps if we knew more about the 'why' we would have a more focused and accurate, 'how' to deal with violent crime.

Personally, I vote for more Wolfenstein and Doom!.
