Seems like you have it a bit backwards Maurice.

Examples like "Japan is safe because they don't have guns" aren't very convincing because they might also be perfectly safe if they did have guns. Much better to use scientific method and do experiments with controls, say a before and after.

This article on what happened to the crime rate in Florida when they introduced a law legalizing concealed gun carry is pretty convincing that it decreased the crime rate significantly.
