[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1974293, member: 4235"] An aspect that a lot of people forget is that individual-on-individual crime is only one part of the picture -- you must also consider the possibility that an unarmed populace is more susceptible to state tyranny. Being that all the worst crimes in history were committed by governments against unarmed subjects, it is no small consideration. I am personally of the opinion that even if we would have less individual-on-individual crime with gun control, I would still be against it because of the increased risk of state-on-individual crime, which is much worse and much more dangerous in my book. The problem with gun control schemes is that they are always directed at everyone EXCEPT the most dangerous potential criminals of all, and the ones we need to watch the most. If you want some good statistics, here is a great website about democide: [url]http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/MURDER.HTM[/url] [/QUOTE]
