They said the crime problem is caused by too many people possessing and using guns, too many people being addicted to drugs, too many people being released on insignificant bail after being arrested. They added that too many people are also being sentenced to short jail terms and then reoffending because they are not rehabilitated and therefore not prepared to return to the community.
Let me fix that for him.

These people, not law abiding firearm owners, are responsible for the majority of crime.
I have legitimate statistics to back up my version.
Half of all murders are committed by people on “conditional release” (i.e., parole or probation).

81% of all homicide defendants had an arrest record; 67% had a felony
arrest record; 70% had a conviction record; and 54% had a felony conviction.

Criminals do not buy guns from stores, they steal them or buy them from other poeple who stole them. You cannot fix drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to buy cars.
