>>I found statistics some time ago which show crime problems are related to lack gun ownership rather than their ownership. <<

ROTFL!

Certainly cuts down on the petty crimes if everybody's packin' heat.

On the other hand it dramatically increases the odds of getting whacked by your spouse when your having a little spat over whose turn it is to put the garbage out.

People involved in mental health say that darn near everyone has some kind of major instability, depression etc at some point in their lives. Even if your neighbour is relatively sane today (not that being totally whacko has ever prevented anyone from buying a firearm) who's to say what he might do if he finds himself trapped in a country and western song (wife leaves, dog run over by a truck etc).

Statistics certainly show that the number of unsuccessful suicides and murders can be effectively reduced by easy access to firearms.
