Even if it were true, and to say I have doubts is putting it mildly, gun control laws are still a bad idea. I'm unwilling to give up my right to protect my life, the lives of my family, or my god given rights even IF that might reduce gun deaths.

Beyond that, while reducing gun deaths may be an admirable goal, if those reduced deaths equate to more victimization of people in the form of increases in rape, robbery, assault, theft, and other crimes, greater gun control is still a loser. Doubly so when it disproportionaly impacts women, the disabled, or the elderly in their ability to defend themselves, particularly when the threat comes in multiples.

It also fails to factor in who is actually getting shot. One hardened criminal killing another is not necessarily a bad thing. A victim killing their would be attacker also not necessarily a bad thing.
