Some states (and some countries) have success with their gun laws and some don't Sutr. It's a subtle but important observation, since very often the laws themselves are nearly identical, and yet they give wildly divergent returns (and only if we go with the myopic view of assault -with a gun-, homicide -with a gun -). Some gun laws appear to have a negative correlation with rates of assault or homicide. I'd chalk this up to countries that have have other issues -that just so happen to include gun laws-. I've seen "gun nuts" point at this and say "see, take away the guns and criminals will run rampant" - which is nonsense....but maybe I'm just not the kind of gun nut that sort of shit appeals to.
