“The authors of the study conclude that the burden of proof rests on those who claim more guns equal more death and violent crime; such proponents should ‘at the very least [be able] to show a large number of nations with more guns have more death and that nations that impose stringent gun controls have achieved substantial reductions in criminal violence (or suicide).’ But after intense study the authors conclude ‘those correlations are not observed when a large number of nations are compared around the world.’ In fact, the numbers presented in the Harvard study support the contention that among the nations studied, those with more gun control tend toward higher death rates.”
