[HI Cobra]

"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...

If that were true then England's crime rate should be close to zero now - Not.
