But sure yeah, all the people killed by guns would be alive if there were more guns around... very sound logic...

I completely agree that America will never ban guns. I do also know that the constitution can be changed. Of course, 10s of thousands of gun deaths haven't resulted in change, so the chances of anything happening are... remote.

I don't ignore the point, but I do think it's GREATLY overstated and is rendered essentially useless when considered against the thousands killed by guns in the US.
Put it like this, if you need a gun to protect yourself from a gun then the problem is, on some level, a gun. Remove the problem.

When there are fewer guns around, there are fewer "gun-related" deaths. Well, duh. In places where people don't have cars, there are fewer car-related deaths. Talk about obvious.
