What do you folks think is the true reason behind gun control? If you select "Other", Please leave some detail as to what you believe it is.

The US government is trying to take guns away for its citizens, yet it is giving aid and weapons to Syrian "rebels" to fight its government. Nuff said.

It depends on who we are talking about.

Gun control is not about guns; it’s about control.

I think it's a mix of honest care and fear. The approach of gun control is an oversimplification to a very complex problem. Like saying, "hey let's make crime illegal, and there will be no more crime" Criminals by definition will always break the law and they will always have guns. Make as many laws and regulations and the criminals will still have their guns. Laws and regulations only apply to the citizens of society who obey them i.e. us the evey-day-law-abiding folk. Instead of regulating guns, the object, we should be regulating gun crimes-- the illegal actions committed with guns.

In the beginning,
Guns got us food and fought off the native "enemy" in the earliest days of America.
And we loved guns.
Guns won us our Nation and fought tyranny.
And we loved guns.
Guns won the West and again put food on our plates.
And we loved guns.
Then cities were built, and they became a bunch of Yuppies as a Country.
And felt guns were no longer necessary and killing of wild animals for food was cruel, so they tried to control them.
The more they controlled them, the more advantage criminals had, and sick people in "Gun Free" zones.
The more guns were used in crime, the more they wanted the Government to protect us.
The more they rely on the Government teet, the more obvious it is that the Government cannot protect us.
The more they realize the Gov't. cannot protect us, the more they want gun control.
It's lunacy is the reason for gun control.
