[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1362129, member: 14668"] But the numbers blow a gaping hole...no pun intended....in the argument that "guns are to blame for crime". The number of privately owned guns continues to climb, the number of people licensed to carry concealed handguns continues to climb, yet the number of murders and gun crime continues to[B] drop[/B]. Whether or not increased gun ownership has a direct downward effect on crime is actually irrelevant. What is [I]relevant[/I] is that the case for increased restrictions upon our 2nd Amendment rights in the name of public safety simply cannot be made based upon the numbers. We have more guns and we have less crime and there is no way for Bloomberg and Feinstein and their ilk to get around that simple fact. [/QUOTE]
