I take it you are one of those that think it has reduced gun crime?

Have you looked at all the statistics? To be honest I can't say for sure of it has reduced it? The increase in violence may be for other reasons than access to guns - perhaps it would be worse if hand guns could still be obtained under licence?
Take airguns - they were used by many "idiots" in our society and it's the actions of those idiots that got the stricter airgun laws brought in - in which one can be imprisoned and or fined for using air-guns in away that breaks the law.
