However way you look at it, seeing that the murder rates by firearm (and overall murder rates) go down when there is more control over weapons, firearms included.

Rates of firearm homicide are not correlated with rates of gun ownership.

And also that car ownership is more closely correlated to rates firearm homicide than rates of firearm ownership are.

And also, Brady background checks are probably not responsible for much of a decrease in gun crime. This may be a problem with the law itself, not gun control in general.

And also, Gun control laws (including the Brady Bill) DO reduce the murder rate.

Except that, Harvard says that gun control doesn't help.

This university says gun ownership increases overall homicide rates and felony gun use, but doesn't alter general violence rates.

Well, gun control seems to work in Canada.
