The uniform FBI crime statistics not credible? Maybe not recent, but I have never heard that law abiding citizens getting guns did anything but reduce crime. If you have recent stats that say it increases it, I would love to see it.
Be sure they don't include gang stats in that, since that is one gang against another crime, not against the population in general.
