Except you haven't proven it's bad science. You've proven you don't want it to be true.
So every year, we have
23,000 gun suicides (because guns are there when people feel that impulse)
16,000 gun homicides (more likely to be an abusive partner than an actual criminal)
1000 homicides related to law enforcement (which only happen because our cops are trigger happy having to deal with an armed populace.)
800 accidents involving guns (many involving children)
200 homicides where civilians are ruled justified in shooting someone (more likely to be an abusive partner than a criminal)
Sounds to me like the the "cure" is far worse than the disease.
