You can't.

That's a ridiculous argument. The right to "keep and bear arms" is already regulated and controlled in a million ways. Can you take your gun into a federal building? No. Can you take your gun to any school? No. Can you take your gun to any place of work? No. Can you go to the gun store and buy 20 automatic rifles and walk out with them that day? No. Can you purchase a howitzer and set it up in your yard for home defense? No.
So I'm unsure what "right" I am arguing to take away. Personally, I think citizens should be allowed to own guns, I just draw the line at a different point than you would, so we're arguing shades of gray here, not absolutes.
Seretogis made a bold claim that concealed carry laws have been show to reduce crime whereever they are implemented. I suspect he is using the results of a study that have recently been shown to be almost completely falsified. You can toss out polemics all you want, but Seretogis made the claim, so he can defend his claim if he chooses to do so.
