The 'facts' they quote are that in the USA, areas with tight gun law have more gun crime. How convenient! You want a gun in these areas you phone a relative or drive down the road. The fact is that countries with tight gun laws, such as Britain and Japan, have less gun supported crimes per head. The fact is 9mm self-loading pistols and high velocity revolvers were designed as weapons, not sporting goods.
