| Re: Do Fewer Guns Mean Less Crime?
Voidwar,
As usual, your posts have been corrupted by basic knowledge deficiency. Try discounting the following comment (because if you cant you really have nothing):
While quantifying the magnitude of these social costs is difficult, contingent valuation (CV) survey estimates suggest the costs of gun violence may be on the order of $100 billion per year (Cook & Ludwig, 2000). Most ($80 billion) of these costs come from crime-related gun violence. Dividing by the annual number of crime-related gunshot wounds, including homicides, implies a social cost per crime-related gun injury of around $1 million (Ludwig & Cook, 2001)
Those crime costs ensure externalities after all!
