Even if Kleck could prove that guns were used in 100 million cases of self-defense each year, that still would not prove that guns have social utility, as long as they still drive up the murder rate.

Your reasoning has such gaping holes in it. You equate the murder of a rapist with the murder of a rape victim, for instance, in terms of "social utility"?
