FTFY. Gun ownership has climbed significantly in the last ten yeas while violent crime has dropped every single one of those ten years. If there was a direct gun ownership to gun crime corollary why did it not express itself? Better yet, why did the exact opposite occur? Sadly, around 80% of gun related homicides can be directly traced to violence related to the drug trade. Legalize drugs, tax them, dry up the financial incentive and that crime will largely disappear. It worked in The Wire.
