More Guns Equals Less Crime?

Now this is interesting, confusing, tiring and too much of numbers, yet numeric proof.

Linoge investigates the common assertion More Guns Equals Less Crime? at http://www.wallsofthecity.net/2010/06/g ... econd.html

Main Point:
The hypothesis of “more guns = more deaths” is demonstrably false over the past 26 years of American history. The number of firearms in civilian circulation have been steadily increasing over that time period, and the number of firearm-related fatalities has not been equivalently increasing.
And I tend to agree with Mike:
There are so many external variables involved when you’re dealing with guns and people,

I have to agree with that statement of Mike's. Guns alone do not determine crime or fatalities.There are just too many other variables.
