Very simply, the ability of law-abiding citizens to possess firearms has
helped reduce violent crime in America.

Now, a Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy study shows that this is not
just an American phenomenon. According to the study, worldwide gun ownership
rates do not correlate with higher murder or suicide rates. In fact, many
nations with high gun ownership have significantly lower murder and suicide
rates.
