Default OT - Is it really worth saving any more?

A study of countries/states/cities with restrictive gun laws has shown
that crime gets worse in those places. Places with concealed carry and
less restrictive gun laws tend to have lower crime rates.


That's a pretty broad statement, how about a few stats to back it up? And if
it is true, I'd wonder how similar stats for Canada would correlate to the
US ones?

Even though every shooting in Toronto, Canada gets great press, the
statistics released by the police definitely show that the crime rate is
going down every year. It only sounds worse because of the sensation of
crimes done by the press.
