what handguns do you own?
You people need to stop with the statistics already, it's bad for both sides of the argument for/against guns and gun ownership.
People don't commit violent crime because it's convenient. If you want to hurt someone you can easily take a 10" chef's knife and stick them with it just as easily as you can unlock your barrel, insert a magazine of ammo, aim and pull the trigger. Furthermore the number of gun related crimes committed does not correlate in any way with the number of guns in circulation.
Committing a violent act upon another person, regardless of the hardware, is a social problem, not a gun problem. If you want to reduce crime in all forms the way to do it is through education and I don't mean gun safety training. If you want to get to the bottom of the problem look instead at the people who commit the crime and compare that to those who don't commit crime. You'll find that a person's likelihood to commit crime free falls based on their educational background and that of their parents.
I guarantee you the prisons aren't full of college graduates.
