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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
