Guns don't cause crimes it helps in keeping everyone safe. Some people, talking about mentally ill people, will definitely start crimes with guns even though there are gun laws for it. What I think is that no laws will not stop crimes from happening because there is a sin nature that came from Adam(in the Bible), and that means that they are not prefect. This is means that crimes will occur because of that sin nature.
Really there is no such thing as guns keeping people safe, but they do help.
