but alaska hasn't seen any less violence and they have no regulation... I'm curious about these statistics, are these gun deaths in illinois caused by criminals? Do they track that much information? |
The only increase in gun deaths when it comes to loser gun regulation tends to be in the case of suicide. Which, suicide with guns tends to be more effective then without guns.
It's really the only statistical arguement agaisnt gun ownership.
In general when you see people talk about gun death increases, this is what they're talking about. In general, in similar or the same areas, a rise in gun ownership tends to come with a drop in crime, though i'm not a big fan of statistics like that in general, prefering the interview methods.
Though those also show that gun ownership lowers crime... unless you think like Soleron that you only count self defense as retaliating after being struck.
In general anti-gun legislation arguments come in 3 ways. Appeal to Emotion, disguising the use of statistics or expanding the parameters to the most unlike situations you can find, ignoring the more accurate closer studies.
