So...why is it that pretty much all the areas in the US that have extremely strict gun laws also seem to have the highest rates of crimes where firearms are involved?

I'm all for gun control and that stuff, but only if it actually works, and isn't punishing people who already follow the law.

Your question suggests you're not at all "for gun control and stuff". Laws are nothing without the enforcement of them. Furthermore, I fail to see how a man driving around on a suspended licence, with outstanding warrants and a weapon concealed within reach is some sort of victim of The Man.
