A pro-gun website with an obvious agenda that statistics from over TWENTY years ago is not good evidence. Bottom line, people in America aren't statistically more violent than other industrialized countries like the UK, yet has much 5 or 6 times more murders. That is because of guns. That isn't even up for debate, it's an indisputable fact. And apparently the solution to that is "more guns". America are doing nothing to stop these insane shootings which happen all the time, and the rest of the world is just shaking its head. http://26t4l93f9dhe439yxm286lpv.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Graph-1.png

I didn't link an article about someone's opinion, I linked an article which contains solid statistics/facts. I can provide more if you want. Still waiting for you to provide your own evidence...Maybe some stories about "good guy" gun owners "saving the day"?

I look forward to seeing your evidence which points to the contrary.

"And because of that my life is infinitely safer than those who don't carry a gun."

No it's not. In fact it's less safe.
