I know...I know....facts to a diehard toe tag letist is like kryponite to superman. When crimes are prevented, FREQUENTLY the cops are called. But that's besides the point.
Facts (not mine, not Plane's, not Cu4's), generated by the FBI, have proven that FAR more crimes are prevented by the mere brandishing of a gun, than lives taken by the use of a gun. And when suicide #'s are taken out, that numer jumps even higher
Not to mention the FACT (again, not mine, but the FBI's), that there is far more violent crime in areas with much greater gun restrictions, than locations with much more permissive gun laws (meaning the areas where more legal "people walking around with guns" have less violent crime and deaths than those areas were less people are allowed to "walk around with guns")
Sorry, FBI's facts, not mine
