Add to that the ignorance (as in you ignore) the fact that the social issue you are concerned about involves a Constitutional Right, not to mention the very practical matter of self-defense from crime, chaos and political degradation, and the 'problem' you describe vanishes. Comparing crime and the misuse of guns to the medical issue of cancer is a totally apples to elephants comparison. Thinking as your article suggests is akin to believing you can eliminate forest fires by eliminating matches and then questioning why there is no research on how to eliminate matches.
