The problem with just saying, take away guns, and deaths will reduce, doesn't say anything about the crimes stopped because the victim had a gun.

About to be assaulted, but you had a gun for protection, etc etc

They take away the guns, criminals will still use them, and will not be dettered.

The only way you might get it to work, would be to have a greater police state and have a bigger detterent. even then, some people will do what they want.

My view is not based on studies of areas where guns were reduced, or non-existant. Unlikely they could duplicate USA anyway.

My view is based on 50 years of seeing and knowing people. There are opportunists, down right evil people, and even some very sick people (beyond evil) out there. People need a detterent, or they just take advantage.

So i don't blame americans not wanting to give up that right, as the rights of criminals seem to always out weigh the rights of victims.
