A lot of people think that guns should be banned or the restrictions on ownership be made onerous to discourage people.
Unfortunately, they fail to grasp that the common criminal or mentally ill person will not abide by their wishes or laws. The numbers back this up time and time again.
Here is a list of links from Gerard:
Information anti gun people do not bring up
-
- Banning guns would not reduce murder and suicide
- No rise in mass shootings
- Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
- Guns are excellent self defense tools
- Mexico’s 90% Gun Supply come from the USA Myth
- DOJ Study Fails to Show 1994 Assault Weapons Ban Worked
- 64% of gun control advocates believe the incorrect assumption that gun crime has gone up
- 53% of Americans oppose stricter gun laws
- 64% of Americans believe it would be bad if only the government had guns
- 62% of Americans believe that the government wouldn’t fairly enforce gun laws
- 74% of Americans believe that the Constitution allows them to own a gun.
- Police feel safer with an armed public, oppose gun control
- Majority of criminals fear and avoid house and people they believe to be armed, fear armed civilians more than the police
- Anti gunners wishing harm and death on gun owners part 1
- Anti gunners wishing harm and death on gun owners part 2
- No correlation between homicide and gun ownership rates for OECD countries
- No correlation between suicide and gun ownership rates for OECD countries
- No correlation between homicide and gun ownership rates between states in the USA
- No correlation between household gun ownership, income, and poverty between the states in the USA
- Anti gunners wishing harm and death on gun owners part 3
And this is just a cursory list - again, the numbers back this up that higher gun ownership directly equates to a lower crime rate.
As Robert Anson Heinlein once said: "An armed society is a polite society"
