Please explain to me how disarming law-abiding citizens will reduce gun crime.

a farmer doesn't "need" a tractor to till his land. he/she can use a horse and plow. a mathematician doesn't "need" a calculator. he/she can use their brain and pen and paper. you don't "need" your first amendment right to voice your opinion publicly. you don't "need" public parks for recreation. you don't "need" the freedoms that so many of us have fought to preserve. do you see where this is going?

Like watching a used car salesman selling a piece of junk car and trying to convince you how great it is. Biden- not my vote.

What kind of town do you live in SWAT needs those kind of weapons any way. You should be happy with the ability to have guns in the first place but of course your typical Greed for more makes it impossible to reason with you.
