Why is the gun control law directed towards licensed gun owners?

 

This chart showed the data on crimes committed by right to carry gun owner’s vs. non- right to carry gun owners and statistics show that those who legally obtain guns are less likely to commit federal crimes. They are significantly safer. The other half of the data shows the crimes committed by stolen, illegally obtained guns. People complain that guns are a hazard to our humanity, but the most crimes happen due to stolen weapons rather than by responsible citizens that are trained and qualified to operate a gun.
