Hi Bailey\weary, and thanks for your wish, and your nomination. Thanks to Rahvin too.
I'd like to mention Modulus' post
Message 417, where Mod uses his usual careful style to evaluate the ramification of the various effects of gun ownership, in particular:
... It seems to me, from a general look at things, that the only crimes you would deter are the ones which are the least harmful and the ones that remain become more likely to result in a death or serious injury. ...
A logically derived conclusion, which, ironically, matches the evidence of crime in the US versus the UK.
Enjoy.
