Gun Ban Rebuttal

I think my colleague has taken one instance in which a gun was used in a harmful way to support their position on the Gun Ban without looking at more statistics other than what certain news agencies report.

The process of finding raw data without interpretation is a little difficult but I was able to find some.  For example in countries with the highest gun ownership per 100 people, here in lays this ranking: 
1. United States
2. Yemen
3. Switzerland
4. Cyprus
5. Saudi Arabia
6. Iraq
7. Finland
8. Uruguay
9. Sweden 
10. Norway

Of these countries, the only one which was on the top 20list for murder rate with firearms was the United States.

On another statistic taken, we see data which shows a declining crime rate as gun ownership increases, with a handful of outliers such as Maine, and Vermont which can be due to other factors, but the raw data follows a linear trend none-the-less. 

Another advantage in gun ownership is the ability to give an elderly woman a fighting chance against a doped-up young man who is either trying to assault her or play, “knock-out-Jew.”

If we did not have guns available for use, man would invent another tool to neutralize his fellow man.  For example, the 3D printable gun, which requires only a 3D printer, can be used lethally. 

I am a current CHL holder who owns several guns and always has my concealed weapon equipped.  I have been in various altercations with the public, and never once used it in a threatening purpose, or to end an argument.

I am on board for measures in which we can restrict guns to a certain few.  I believe a system in which people, who wish to be gun owners, should become licensed to carry; proving themselves in weapon handling and sanity tests which should be performed at fixed intervals -- just like owning a vehicle license more or less.  This system would be more thoughtful than reaching as far as to ban firearms.
