  Statistically incorrect, areas with the strictest gun laws have the most gun crime, not just total, but per Capita.

  Guns are successfully used by potential victims for self defense more than 50,000 times per year in the US.

  The idea that your going to fight off the state is ridiculous. I would much rather a couple police officers give me a warrant and take me to the station then the swat enter my home because I'm a violent threat and have a shoot out with my kids in the house.

  Not unintended consequences. More gun violence is a feature, not a bug.
