The Government confiscates your property first, without your being tried or adjudicated guilty. The best source of information comes from a professor of Police Science at Florida State University. Dr. Gary Kleck presents the most comprehensive study on guns and violence in America ever assembled. 1,200,000 Americans use firearms each year to thwart criminal attempts on their persons and on their properties. The people in Japan have a gun murder rate that is 2.3 times higher than that of Japanese people who live in America amidst two hundred million firearms.
Guns are the problem.
Get rid of the guns and violence will decline. During that exact same period, Evanston experienced increases in all three categories of violent crime involving guns. Kennesaw recorded an 89 percent decrease in these same areas of murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. The Orlando, Florida Police trained 2,500 women in the use of handguns, and realized an 88 percent decrease in rape. It is a recorded fact that robbery and assault victims who used guns to resist were less likely to be attacked or to suffer injuries than those who used any other methods of self-defense, or than those who did not resist at all.
