I am not disputing the fact that the more guns are in a society the more gun related incidents are going to be occur. But, as mentioned before, legal gun owners are not the ones committing the crimes, it the thieves and other delinquents who would have committed the crime anyways. I think if you want to really have a valid argument, you need to find some numbers on the amount of registered guns that were used to commit a crime versus the amount of stolen or illegaly obtained guns used to commit a crime. I think then your argument might not have as much clout.
