...in arguing with american gun nuts, i am often overwhelmed by their quoting of statistics that support their belief that "more guns = less crime".

i need access to unbiased figures regarding gun crimes in the US, canada, sweden etc etc etc.

any help is much appreciated!

this is my first post at rabble.ca.

Hi and welcome. Not sure why you'd even want to argue with American gun nuts, but I guess it beats self flaggelation with a Drano soaked whip. (or not...)

But anyway, a quick perusal at google came up with this.

edited to add: you know if your middle name was Umberto, you could sign all your posts duh!
