I don't.
A study published in the latest issue of the academic journal Applied Economics Letters
took on many of the claims made regularly by advocates of stricter gun
laws. The study determined that nearly every claim made in support of stronger restrictions on gun ownership is not supported by an exhaustive analysis of crime statistics.
The study, “An examination of the effects of concealed weapons laws
and assault weapons bans on state-level murder rates,” conducted by
Quinnipiac University economist Mark Gius, examined
nearly 30 years of statistics and concluded that stricter gun laws do
not result in a reduction in gun violence. In fact, Gius found the
opposite – that a proliferation of concealed carry permits can actually
reduce incidents of gun crime.
