What a crock. Why did they recall the Pinto and the Tylenol?? Because they were defective.
Are the guns defective?
Why not recall cars because of the 48k deaths?
Yes I am winning. 232,000 guns going right into criminal hands each year.
How can you conclude anything else?

Hmmm...if you were to succeed in banning guns for regular people....how would you ban guns for criminals...? Considering in the anti gun paradises of China...just had a huge gun bust their ...some 9,000 illegal guns captured in a raid, in the gun control paradise of Australia...bikey gangs and foreign immigrants seem to use guns a lot...Britain...ditto...France...ditto...Japan...yakuza get guns when they want them...
So, after you ban guns for regular, law abiding people who don't commit crime...how do you stop criminals from getting guns....?
Then, once the law abiding citizens have no guns...how do you protect them from criminals who attack in gangs, or with knives, baseball bats...or illegal guns? Those crimes will still happen...the good guys will just have to endure the rapes, beatings, robberies and murders...right?
I like that paper as well...good post...
Hardly...what part of 250-370,000 lives saved each year isn't sinking in...and those criminals still commit crime...that is the ugly secret to European gun laws...people are still raped, robbed, brutally beaten and murdered...and Britain has a higher violent crime rate than we do...but their victims are expected to quietly accept their fate...to just take it...while our people can stop these monsters...
So they surrender their right to be safe and suffer for it...every day...with rapes, beatings, murders and robberies where the criminals aren't afraid of the victims and know how long it will take the police to arrive...
The Hart survey results implied a minimum of about 640,000 annual DGUs involving handguns, while the Mauser results implied about 700,000 involving any type of gun.[37] It should be stressed, contrary to the claims of Reiss and Roth,[38] that neither of these estimates entailed the use of "dubious adjustment procedures."

page 651 from the Harvard study ( I can't copy from it for some reason) points out that very few murders in Russia use guns because regular people don't have them...and yet there are more murders in Russia than the United States...riddle me that one batman...
I don't know the survey they refer to in the Wikipedia article that points out 250-370,000 lives saved and crimes stopped...you would have to find that one...but they do list the guy you are citing just before that....
And don't forget these two studies....and they are a lot higher...

Guizhou police broke up a gang that was manufacturing and selling weapons and confiscated about 15,000 guns and 120,000controlled knives, the largest such seizure ever in China.
Fifteen suspects were arrested after the four-month investigation. The gang's business covered 27 provinces and municipalities,including Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan and Sichuan.
Some crossbows were also seized.
Private citizens are not allowed to own guns, according to Chinese law.
Okay, is anyone going to claim that China isn't a gun control paradise...and yet...

The Chinese even control knifes and they can't keep criminals from getting them...
I believe even those fictional numbers only claim crimes stopped, not lives saved
So how many guns are there in America? Certainly there are more than 600 million privately owned and functioning firearms in Americans hands. How many more is a matter of conjecture. My guess is between 600 and 650 million usable firearms in private hands – but there may be more.
Again...your numbers don't work...
232,000 guns stolen. Vs. 300-700 million guns in private hands...
Still losing...
so, riddle me this batman...
From the Harvard study posted on foreign gun crime...they point out that Luxembourg does not allow handguns and other guns are tightly controlled...more than Germany...yet Lux has a higher mureder rate than Germany...9 times higher...how is that possible...?
