the facts show that there is simply no correlation between gun control laws and murder or suicide rates across a wide spectrum of nations and cultures. In Israel and Switzerland, for example, a license to possess guns is available on demand to every law-abiding adult, and guns are easily obtainable in both nations. Both countries also allow widespread carrying of concealed firearms, and yet, admits Dr. Arthur Kellerman, one of the foremost medical advocates of gun control, Switzerland and Israel "have rates of homicide that are low despite rates of home firearm ownership that are at least as high as those in the United States." A comparison of crime rates within Europe reveals no correlation between access to guns and crime. ------------------------------------
I could go on. Studies have consistently shown that gun control laws do nothing to deter crime. And when law abiding citizens are allowed to carry their small arms the crime actually goes down.
Gun control advocates always argue on emotion. Gun rights advocats alway use logic and facts.
