When I lived in Georgia in the 1990s, one of its counties passed an
ordnance requiring all citizens own a gun. Around the same time, a
county in Chicago passed a ordinance banning guns. Do you want to take
a guess at which county experienced an increase in crime, and which
experienced a decrease?

Stepping out of society via suicide is every person's right,
regardless of what the states say (remember, many are they same states
that murder its citizens with a death penalty). As for assaults and
homicides -  ATF's Project Gunrunner FTW?

Anyway, the debate is not a religion to me as long as I can own one to
rise against the government if needed. I don't care much about hunting
:)
