... more people are killed when the public does not shoot back. [...] if one man, or a group of men, decide they're going to kill people, relatively fewer victims will die the sooner the gunmen are dispatched.


So, in other words, you mean to say that "more guns means fewer victims", is that right?

I'm probably frightfully naïve, but I would say it's the other way round and I do think that the evidence is with me on this.
Overall, countries with stricter gun-control laws have fewer shootings than countries were guns are readily available.
