The problem with that logic is the psychos behind Columbine, Va Tech and many domestic killings are not prototypical "criminals". Often they're people who haven't been in and out of jail and who haven't committed crimes before. For whatever reason (outcast, mental instability, snapping) they go outside of normal behavior and become criminals. There isn't any way I'll buy that restricting access to firearms will increase, or increasing access to firearms will decrease, these types of tragedies.
