ok moose, so why have laws at all?
lynch - good point I was about to post the same thing. There is no right or wrong answer to any of this - at least not yet. The point is there have been studies of both sides and nothing has been actualy proven. For every study that shows more gun laws equals less crime, there is one that shows the opposite.
So when you said that even a few lives might be saved, but then went on to say that there will probably be more murders - that's only an opinion, too. Johns Hopkins has a "division" or institute or whatever that studied the issue and reached the conclusion that I believe. Whether it's right or not we'll probably never know
