Do guns necessarily lead to crime?

No. There was crime before there were guns. I collect guns. My children and grandchildren are hunters and target shooters. I do not commit crimes, nor does my family. People that want to commit crimes will do so, with or without a gun.


Should people be allowed to own guns?

Yes, because almost every person in the world who would commit a crime yowled not abide to laws that restrict gun wrights. If a criminal would commit a crime, they obviously would not care about laws that do not allow them to have guns. People who have guns for self defense can defend themselves. If there are laws against owning guns, then innocent people would be unable to defend themselves, meanwhile a criminal would have a gun.


Is it a crime to plan a crime but not commit the crime?

Yes planning a crime is a crime.More exactly, it is called "Conspiracy to commit X", where X is the crime being planned. There's a bit more difficulty in proving it, because the prosecution has to show that you knew that a crime was being planned and that you willingly (or knowingly) participated in that planning, but it's still a crime.Also, note that you can possibly be charged with a crime even if you are apprehended before you can actually commit the crime. For instance, if you and two buddies pull into a convenience store, take out your guns, and walk in, but are met with a bunch of police officers who arrest you before you actually stick up the place, you can be charged with Robbery, not just Conspiracy to Commit Robbery. The prosecution has to show that it is reasonable to assume you were about to commit a crime (i.e. you had your ski masks on when you walked in, guns drawn, not just walked into the store with guns in your belts), and that the crime was imminent (i.e about to happen, usually meaning in the next hour or so).

Do you think people that own guns are more likely to kill than non gun owner what do you think gun owners and non gun owners mentality are not only for U.S.A for all of the people that own guns.?

Owning a firearm does not make one person more likely to commit a crime. There is at least 1 firearm in about 1/3 of all US households- but 1/3 of the US population does not commit murder. You are looking for a correlation that does not really exist.
