你提到許多學術研究的結論是私槍使 violent crime 下降，我和你保證，只要有反私槍者的資助，證明私槍會使violent crime提高的研究，絕不會少。
美國教育研究裡的一個熱門題目是家長參與的多寡與學生成績高低的關聯，每年可能有上百萬美元的研究經費花在這個上面。結論呢，當然是正相關。這種還需要研究嗎？全部是垃圾研究。
如果研究為什麼家長參與的多而學生成績卻很低（如美國）；或是家長參與得少，學生程度卻很高（如台灣），那或有可觀。

"I don’t know of a single academic study by anyone that’s found an increase in accidental shootings," John Lott, Economist, author of "More Guns, Less Crime."
Lott formerly taught at Rice University and now lives in the Washington DC area.
Lott said his views changed after he conducted an exhaustive study of Texas and other states with concealed handgun licenses. Lott contends not only is there no significant increase in accidental shootings, he said he found violent crime actually goes down.
According to Lott, homicide was reduced by 8 percent and rapes by 5 percent in states after they began issuing CHLs.
Lott said it happens because criminals are afraid of getting shot.
"Criminals know there is some risk now to attack somebody and they don’t know who is risky to go and attack," Lott said.

中國的許多朝代，人們也可以私擁武器，官府好像也沒有因此就對老百姓客氣一點吧？
槍枝開放，所以善人可以自衛，所以歹徒比較不敢為非作歹。依此理論，怎麼還會有人敢去搶劫呢？莫非他們都認定對方沒有槍枝？
我家小孩吵著要買ＢＢ槍已經很久了，我不敢買給他們。武器作用只有三個，一是娛樂，二是傷人，三是自傷。娛樂事小，傷人或自傷事大。沒有槍枝固然也能自傷或傷人，但總是危險性低一點。沒有槍枝也能娛樂，何必一定要槍枝？
