It has been tried many times -and every time, every place
it's been tried, the rate of violent crime of all types,
including homicide with a firearm has increased. 

These statistics, unfortunately, don't support the Care Bear

the results don't exist, or call every case that violates
their preconceptions an "exception to the rule".
