I agree that possibly more bad guys would have guns than "normal citizens", but the murder rate overall would obviously decrease with strict gun laws.
How many trailer parks and ghetto's are in those places with the bans? That's part of the violent subculture I'm talking about. The people there aren't buying legal guns, they're buying stolen and black market imports off crack heads on the street for 1/5th the price.
