I hope you're not going to provide raw data. It is not possible to isolate the gun ownership effect, given other crime effecting variables are not constant (e.g. business cycle). I've referred to empirical evidence that controls for these other variables and provides a means to isolate the gun ownership variables.

But more importantly, even if you were right the point is moot; The whole point to a constitution is that no matter what happens, free people cannot vote away their rights and liberties.

I haven't referred to prohibition. I've only referred to regulation. I've also referred to an article by Winkler, an American constitutional law specialist that notes
"the Second Amendment's individual rights to bear arms is appropriately ruled by a deferential, reasonableness analysis under which nearly all gun control regulations would survive judicial scrutiny"
