In respects of helping crime rates, no. Contrary to popular myth, outlawing handguns will not stop crime. First, making something illegal won't stop it from happening. Crack cocaine is illegal, but there are millions of tons of it shipped into the U.S. every year. Second, according to the official FBI reports,only about 20-30 percent (that figure varies year to year) of all violent crime in the U.S. involves a gun. That means that 70-80 percent of all violent crime involves a contact weapon or no weapon. It is an extremely common myth that most crime involves a handgun.
