Why not just lock up the criminals?

So they take away the criminal's guns and put them back on the street and the criminals commit more crime. Is the solution really that hard to understand?

Kevin White, 24, of Philadelphia, was arrested a short time after the 11:30 p.m. shooting and will be charged with murder, rape, aggravated assault and other offenses, [Chief Inspector Joseph Fox] said. Police said they recovered a gun during the arrest.

There were five other shootings overnight in Philadelphia.

"It's a clear indication that there's too many guns on the street," Fox said. "(Police) get some guns off the street, only to be faced with the same people back on the street within days or weeks to commit the same type of crime over and over again." . . . .
