Studies show that 500,000 to 1,000,000 citizens use firearms in self defense each year. Do these count as "stopping more crime" or are the numbers only subsumed into the general stats?
The utility of privately owned firearms is self defense.
There are many ways of stopping crimes, ways that don't even include private guns, so it becomes tedious and unnecessary to conflate the issues.
"To Keep and Bear Arms" is a Constitutionally protected right.
Numbers games are essentially irrelevant. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
