No, they don't. Your hand selected cherry picked stats are the only ones that support your argument. The fact is that a full treatment of all available data shows that there is no causal connection between proliferation of guns and occurrence of crime.
We have by far the most guns among 1st world countries and the most crime. What separates our country from other nations with lower crime rates that you claim are causing our high crime rates if it's not guns?
Yes, there are criminals everywhere. Banning guns wont change that, but the sheer volume of crime we have and the high rate of violent crime can be lowered with stricter gun control laws.
Small minority populations committing the vast majority of gun murders.
Next question?
So no answer?
