Guns make it easier to kill and injure people.   Therefore, it is obvious to any fool that reducing the prevalence of guns will reduce the prevalence of death and injury.   But, what about people who aren't fools? As with many issues, if a person cares enough about the issues of violence and liberty to actually make the effort of getting all the relevant facts about gun possession, things are no longer so obvious.   And there are a lot of really technical facts related to the costs and benefits, to us all, of private citizens possessing firearms. As with other matters, the only way to clarify in the midst of a lot of confusing facts is to put in some effort to analyse the facts, and correlate them, and understand them.   Then it all becomes clear again. This site is for people who care enough about violence, life, death, liberty and slavery to put in the effort to get the facts about guns—and then understand them.   If you don't care enough to learn, please have the decency to avoid doing things that might eliminate the ability of others to protect themselves, their families, their neighbors, and you—or might steal the liberty of our descendants. Although much of what you find on this site will look superficially like what you can find on other sites, the information is different.   It all results from GunsAndCrime.org thoroughly researching and analysing each issue addressed.   If a study is addressed on this site, we have actually obtained and analyzed the report on the study, plus any documents we can find that support the study or are critical of it, unless otherwise specifically stated.   And we tell you about all that source data.
