You have to look at the right statistics to see the real impact...

The guns will not be there for the criminals to steal. Hence the "armed" crimes will go down. (a lot of the guns in criminals hands are stolen) Of course black market will provide a small amout of weapons, but your average crackhead won't have the money for one. (let alone a market priced gun)

What you will see is the number of thwarted crimes drops to near zero...

Here in the US you'll find only one organization providing these figures, the NRA.

Still have to laugh when people think the government is going to protect them when even here in the US military forces are used against civilians. (this is illegal by the way) The National guard and Coast Guard have been used countless times to kill civilians, not to mention law enforcement armed with military equipment like tanks and APCs for "crowd control". I'd imagine China also called the tanks they rolled in "crowd control".

Gun control is nothing more than the government trying to protect itself from being over thrown.
