Actually, forget about that, his critics are people not only using intricate theoretical reasoning to overshadow empirical data, they are also people who refuse to take responsibility for the policies they advocate. It is not at all controversial that guns sometimes save lives. It is therefore not controversial that gun control will kill at least some people. It's just that anti-gun people don't want to take responsibility for those people, they only speculate (apparently against evidence) that they will save more people than they kill.
Non sequitur.
