This essay by criminologist Gary Kleck is a must read reference for anyone involved in the citizen disarmament (gun control) debate. While it is a bit dated, as crime rates have been cut in half since it was written, 80 million more firearms have been added to the civilian American stockpile, and concealed carry permits have likely tripled or quadrupled, it is still highly informative and useful. The above excerpt gives a decent taste of the meat involve. The entire essay should be read by anyone involved in the debate who is interested in facts and logic.

As a current member of the NRA these numbers are consistent with the numbers for today in the United State.
AS a parent I wish they would teach gun safety in schools rather than nonsense like cultural diversity and how to place a condom on to a cucumber.
