Gun Control & RKBA

That's because it's bollocks. Precious few people of the sort that commit violent crime (statistically, highly likely to be a reasonably-fit male much larger and stronger than me) need a weapon to victimize me. Even if it were possible to remove firearms from our society, that would by no means necessarily make me any safer.

I'm also quite familiar with the statistics about crime, gun ownership, etc. Trust me, this isn't my first gun-control rodeo. More to the point, I understand statistical analysis very well (it's a huge component of what I do for a living), and understand how reduction of confounding factors works, and thus in what areas my individual situation varies from the statistical norm, making any such study's generalized probabilities less-applicable.
