We have a lot of evil gang people in this country. Yeah, most of them are black and latins.
If we preempted and rounded them up then the civil rights bozos would start calling people nazis.
So we wait for them to carjack and kill us one by one.

Japan is another country typically cited.
Gun control opponents can play similar games. The Swiss with 7 million people have hundreds of thousands of fully-automatic rifles in their homes (see GunCite's "Swiss Gun Laws") and the Israelis, until recently, have had easy access to guns (brief summary of Israeli firearms regulations here). Both countries have low homicide rates. Likewise this doesn't mean more guns less crime.
The U.S. has a higher non-gun murder rate than many European country's total murder rates. On the other hand, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Mexico have non-gun murder rates in excess of our total murder rate.
