You're right Chris, it's not an easy question to answer. I think that there really is no answer. For every argument there is a counter argument. Both sides have points, points that aren't necessarily wrong. The problem is that not everything is clear cut. Does less guns mean less crime? I doubt it, less criminals make less crime. If there weren't guns would the number of homicides go down? The only definite answer is that the number of homicides by firearms would go down. Knives, explosives, etc may go up. Our Police are out powered? Sure some departments that won't buy fully automatic carbines/rifles or even semi-automatic carbines/rifles are out powered. The ones that do spend the money aren't.
Is there really a lesser of two evils?
