The reality is that even these and other basic questions cannot be fully answered, because not enough research has been done...

...except that it has, many times. And it always shows an increase in firearms ownership means a decrease in crime. But that doesn't ever have any effect on the statists. They want unarmed serfs, facts be damned.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Yep...as the lawyers say: "If the law is on your side, argue the law. If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If neither the law nor the facts are on your side, pound the table."

These gun-grabbers have been pounding the table for 100 years.
