I agree that concealed carry states have less murder and violent crime once it becomes common there. But - the evidence to the contrary is countries that do not have a handgun/assault weapons available to the public culture (say, Canada or England), and those that do (us).

We murder each other with guns in the thousands compared to less than 100. Why does a 20-bullet clip for a handgun need to be legal here? You can still have gun ownership, but with hard restrictions and responsibilities. Trouble is, in America we think that violates our freedomz. The definition of "responsible gun laws" varies widely among Americans.
