You've used these reported figures twice here - my concern with them is that if you think about those statistics, it means that between 40 and 60% of criminals <b>don't give a damn</b> whether their victim is armed or otherwise.
Regardless of whether you agree with gun control or not - it really is an unconvincing statistic.
