I thought this would provoke some interesting discussion.

Myth: Gun Control Reduces Crime (http://youtube.com/watch?v=j_YTM_eAWnQ)

In it, it shows statistics that illustrate how making handguns illegal in the USA made murder rates go up in the 80's, it provides a case of a town whose crime rates went down by making a mandatory gun ownership ordinance, and talked to criminals who say they fear armed victims more than the police, and would carry anyway if guns were banned.

Frika do you know what you do? You have released the flood gates! Now I must stand at ready with rifles (yes plural) in hand and defend the wall. I dont have any ammo.... guess my bayonet will get some use afterall?

/praise the lord and pass the ammo

This is why you see the most gang activity in larger cities with major gun control laws.
