Do you have a source for your claim about concealed carry laws? I'd be interested in examining the source data.

Do a search on this board, or just google around. It's really not worth my time to search for you, if you'll simply ignore the facts.

I dont think that the great unwashed masses can be trusted with each owning a gun. And, frankly the situation in the US supports this. Obviously, the more guns there are around, the greater the chance they will be used for the wrong reasons- or get into the hands of kids or something.

Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about. People who want to acquire firearm-carry permits are not simply "the great unwashed masses" -- they are people who have gone through the necessary training and background checks in order to carry a firearm. I'd like to see the percentage of people who commit violent crimes with a handgun who are legal pemit holders -- I bet it is less than .01%. Forcing law-abiding citizens to give up their rights in order to pretend to be able to enforce gun-laws against criminals (which is what gun control is supposedly for), makes no sense.
Gun control measures which rape the innocent makes about as much sense to me as confiscating every automobile because some woman kills her husband with one. Punish the criminals, not responsible law-abiding citizens.
