I wish I could remember the name of the study but it suggested that gun
control laws don't really have an impact on crime rate.
The study looked at various countries and suggests that there is no
relationship between gun control laws and crime rates. The country with
the heaviest gun control laws, Japan, and the country with the most liberal
gun control laws, Switzerland, both ranked near the top for least amount of
crime per population.
