| Statistical conslusions: 87.3% of very serious rape, robbery and assualt during this 10 year periond had NOTHING to do with firearms. If there were NO FIREARMS available to criminals, common sense tells us that most of the 12.7% that does involve firearms would shift over to knives or other-non firearm weapons with no real change in the number of victims. Common sense and real world experience also tells us that if criminals never had to worry about their intended victims being armed beacuse of firearms bans, the rates of rape, robbery and assault would be much higher, as they are in gun-ban cities. |
