Well, there is solid evidence to show that in states with 'less strict' gun laws, crime is lower than in areas where they are more strict. Granted, this could be due to the fact in more so-called democratic states where gun laws tend to be tougher, there tends to be a higher concentration of crime in inner cities where more social inequality exists - so maybe crime is attributed to that rather than the laws. But then again, when the Firearms Control Regulation Act of 1975 was lifted in D.C., in 2008, crime rate there began to go down, and it has done so steadily since. Montana has some of the most lenient gun laws with a very low crime rate, but also a much smaller population than say, CA.
