aic.gov.au This is a site you have not mentioned. Homicide by firearm down 30% from 97-98, however overall homicide only down 9%. What other weapons were substituted? Majority of homicides were not firearm but other. Furthermore all the crime graphs point up, including armed robbery. Statistics will never convince some, they're just annoying. Rocks and sticks, then knives and spears and swords, bows and arrows and now firearms. Soon laser weapons? Try and get ballistics on those. Guns represent technological progress. The worst "wars" or massacres occurred when one side was UNARMED, they're called genocides. You're right on the millions killed, maybe 100 million just this century. Who's next? It won't happen to the armed populace. Even dictators know their limits.
