9. Makes sense to me
Edited on Thu Sep-17-09 12:22 AM by Euromutt
People who were victims of a gun crime probably reckon that the law did not make it harder for their assailants to lay their hands on a gun, but did make it harder for their victims to do so.

ETA that I'm far from convinced that more widespread firearms ownership would reduce crime, though that depends heavily on whether you're counting only completed crimes, or are also counting attempts.
