I actually had a professor who said that when Australian outlawed guns, there was no decrease in the nation's murder rate. In fact, people simply used things like baseball bats and knives more frequently. I don't know how factual this statement was... but I tend to believe it. In the United States... gangmembers and mobsters don't even use the type of firearms that one could by at their local gunshop. More times than not, they obtain their weapons through illegal means. It's gotten to the point where local police forces don't have strong enough weapons to use when combating organized criminals. I think that if you take away a person's right to bear arms, you're going to see a lot more terror in the streets of L.A., New York, or any other major city. People can kill each other with their own bare hands... when they have a will, they find a way to do it...
