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 right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
