15. The truth is that gun laws have little to do with violent crime
in fact even gun crime has been in constant decline nationally for 20+ years according to the Dept. of Justice. What has happened in that 20 years? Well, every year without exception the number of guns in private possession has increased by millions (14 million last year IIRC). Further in that 20 years we have gone from 3 states with concealed carry to 46 states, meaning there are literally millions more people carrying firearms in public every day. Firearms accidents have been in decline for near 40 years. I would be happy to post links to the stats later, I am off to work now.
