Now, the enemy will just say that it would be even lower if we had more gun control. But it is significant that there are more guns than ever, and more people carrying guns than ever, and the rate is the lowest it has been in 45 years. I do enjoy statistics and I believe the evidence shows that more guns means less crime. I'm actually unbiased too. I don't care if more guns meant more crime, we have rights, and they're not determined by the behavior (or potential behavior) of others.
