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 |
| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
