Shouldn’t all those guns be preventing this?

Hasn’t gun ownership been going up as the murder rate has come down?

Not that I think the gun ownership caused the decrease, I’m just saying, again, that the relationship between guns and homicide is complex.

If I was going to guess something that made sense to me, it would be that guns would have to be severely restricted nationwide, and all the guns currently owned would have to come out circulation before you started to see a positive affect.

I’m not sure we can get that done in the US, so I’d like us to concentrate on all of the other things we could do to affect violence.
