Originally posted by bugsbunny04, The lowest crime rate in the country belongs to a Georgia town that REQUIRES everybody not restricted by the 68' Gun Control Act own a gun. The highest crime rate in the country belongs to Washington DC where NOBODY is allowed to have a gun but the gangstas dont seem to notice. Firearms are used about 2,000,000 times a year to PREVENT crime, and about 10,000 times a year by criminals. Nobody is crime free, but places where concealed carry has been legalized, muggings and rapes ALWAYS go down significantly. In places where guns are confiscated, home invasions ALWAYS go up significantly. What state or country is crime free because there people CANT bear arms? Dont you dare say North Korea. That place is so much like Orwell's Oceania its hard to tell the difference. Dont give me this crap about how I have not given you statistics and studies, I fucking gave them to you and you refused to fucking look at them. Go back and find the shit, and actually look at what I have given you, or quit whining about me not giving you anything. The video I linked earlier, John Lott's book "More Guns, Less Crime", Guncite.com, the CDC (though you will have to actually be able to read raw numbers, because they usually summarize them wrong), the FBI, all of these sources.

the key word was "crime free" and so my point stands. Not less crime, just because a gun stopped a crime in progress does not mean it prevented crime or reduced the amount of crime being attempted. And the stats you mentioned might not even be related to the gun laws of a state, it might be because a state has a better law enforcment department and a inhumane jail system. It could be because the poverity level is higher, etc. "Gun laws" for private use are not the main factors behind crime prevention or the lack there-of, many other more important factors are responsible.
