I haven't seen you refute the data I presented. It's funny that you just repeat your argument and hope no one notices instead of trying to refute my source. One might almost be led to believe that things like data deny your arguments the substrate of fantasy they need in order to survive, so you just ignore such.

Color me skeptical. Its a well known <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6662217/#041207" rel="nofollow">fact</a> that assaults and robberies increases in countries that have forbidden their citizens from acquiring firearms.

I just think that your arguments about more guns making people safer are ludicrous, and choose to attack them when they come up. I do think fewer people would die from gunshots if guns were outlawed, but, that's not the only effect I take into consideration. I often think that you do yourself, and the libertarian position, a disservice by trying to support that position with weak arguments. The argument that more guns makes us safer is extremely tenuous, and has nothing to do with libertarian ideals. I'm much more impressed by the argument that the government shouldn't have control over this aspect of our lives, but you rarely make that argument when the issue comes up.
