65. I will agree that the proliferation of firearms ...
creates more potential victims, but statistics show the fewer people are being killed by firearms even though the number of guns and the number of more lethal semi-automatic weapons has skyrocketed.

I suggest that this may be due to the fact that the number of mentally unstable people and criminals who would misuse firearms to murder or kill has not increased.

Therefore, the solution to keep the number of firearm related deaths is to enforce and improve existing law to stop such people from obtaining firearms.
