kill people, people kill people. " This quote is
technically true. But if there are no guns, it

weapon other than firearms. I was born in Tokyo,

specifically a handgun, is beneficial to a
civilian in the event of a robbery or intrusion,

Instead of attempting to reduce the amount of
firearms in circulation, this energy and money
should be diverted into anti-crime applications.

Statistics Gun Control Part One Statistics on an
issue such as gun control are not hard to come by.
The numbers seem to sway in the favor of gun
control being ineffective against the epidemic of
