Gun Laws enable violence by disarming only the victim. Criminals don't obey gun laws. http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?ID=23202 "The FBI agrees. As a central destination for crime reports handed in by law enforcement around the nation, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report gives national figures of shooting deaths of about 29,500 each year; the Bureau furnishes its companion figure of citizens who use their gun to de-escalate a crime in progress to be more than 2.5 million times a year. Understand that Police and gun owners are not foes, but allies."
