Everything You Know About Guns Is Wrong

Rather,  if  firearms  availability  does  matter,  the  data consistently  show  that  the  way  it  matters  is  that  more  guns equal less  violent crime.   

 ... Whether  gun  availability  is viewed  as  a  cause  or  as  a  mere  coincidence,  the  long  term  macrocosmic  evidence  is  that  gun  ownership  spread  widely  throughout  societies  consistently  correlates  with  stable  or declining  murder  rates.   Whether  causative  or  not,  the  consistent  international  pattern  is  that  more  guns  equal  less  murder  and  other  violent  crime.  Even  if  one  is  inclined  to  think that  gun  availability  is  an  important  factor,  the  available  international  data  cannot  be  squared  with  the  mantra  that  more  guns  equal  more  death  and  fewer  guns  equal  less  death.  Rather,  if  firearms  availability  does  matter,  the  data consistently  show  that  the  way  it  matters  is  that  more  guns  equal less  violent crime.
