Every since that day the American people have been lead to believe that violent crime is growing out of control. This mindset, coupled with the media s continued assertion that the Brady Bill was not tough enough on gun control, has led people to believe that the lack of gun control is causing the ostensible rise in violent crime.

Most people have a strong opinion on how to fix the purported inflation in violent crime.
Often these people will argue a cause that their solution does not address. This is precisely what congress has done and this is the basis for my argument. I will argue that Americans commit violent crime because of conditioning. In conclusion I will have shown that the current gun control legislation will not reduce violent crime in the long run.
