The people responsible for the killing are people like you. By voting for pro-gun politicians, you help to get guns into the hands of people who want to kill their spouses, criminals who want to commit violent crimes, and depressed teenagers who want to kill themselves.
There are many variable to consider. By voting for pro-gun politicians, you help get guns into the hands of honest law-abiding citizens who can better protect themselves, their homes, and their property. You also create an element for the would-be criminal to consider. (With pro-gun laws, this would-be victim would more likely have a gun. If I try to rob him, he might have a gun and shoot me.) When thinking about pro-gun laws and anti-gun laws, think about what lack of crimes may result.
When criminals suspect that the costs of committing a crime will be too high, they are less likely to commit it. The possibility of a concealed weapon tilts the odds in favor of the potential victim. Studies have shown that rape victims who resist with a gun are only half as likely to be injured as those who do not resist.
