Reliable evidence undoes the folk belief that in the absence of guns, other equally efficient means would produce the same number of homicides and suicides.
A firearm is quite an efficient tool in the right hands. The gun though is a weapon of distance. Barring bows and arrows, I can't think of another weapon that is wielded with such immediate effect that allows the user such a degree of distance from their intended opponent.

Seriously though, iolent crime has gone up everywhere I've seen where the citizens can't be armed.
