Since the mid-1990s the violent crime rate in the United States has dropped steadily and significantly.
Since the mid-1990s the number of firearms in Civilians hands has increased by more than 100,000,000.
Please square this with "...weapons that are vastly more effective at killing people more readily available in no way contributes to an increase in the number of deaths in a population."
Note: I did not make the assumption that "more guns = less crime." We already know that "more guns = more crime" is not proven.
