Chances for Crime Increase When Tools for the Crime are Present

Leave the Second Amendment alone, and let us have no additional gun controls. But, I do wish we as a nation and state weren't so set on everyone owning a gun. There are dangers. Why did some of the wildest towns in the Old West (like Dodge City) require you to check your gun in at the marshal's office when you rode into town? They knew folks having guns meant folks having gun fights. Why does the military not allow guns to be brought on base? They know if guns are there, someone is apt to use them. It's common sense: the chances for the crime increase when the tools for the crime are present.
