Do gun control advocates think citizens of states with the most severe gun laws are worse than other citizens?

[Gadfly]

If you believe gun control works, does that mean you believe the citizens of cities with both strict gun control laws and high crime rates are much more inclined to criminal activity than are citizens of states without either condition.

And if you believe gun control is working, how much worse would violent crime be in Flint MI if it had less stringent gun control? Do you think marshal law would have to be imposed?

If you do believe gun control works and the population of Detroit for instance is simply more inclined to violence than populations of similar density but with less gun control and violence, how do you explain it?

Do you think violence is the product of failed attempts at social engineering or the disintegration of the family unit? Or do you think that despite their corruption, debt and violence, the social policies of cities like Detroit and DC are keeping them on the right track and they simply need to redouble their efforts employing fundamentally flawed policies? Given their violent crime rates, do you think other states should emulate them?

Does it seem that for some politicians, given the choice between;
1) Admitting they have supported infective or harmful policies and then
looking for more effective solutions.
or
2) Allowing the carnage to continue while using the resultant public outrage to forward
their political agenda.

choose the latter..
