>Citing four separate studies between 1988-2004, the assessment from the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council says crime victims who use guns in self-defense have consistently lower injury rates than victims who use other strategies to protect themselves (other strategies include stalling, calling the police or using weapons such as knives or baseball bats).

>Hemenway finds more reliable an annual federal government research project, called the National Crime Victimization Survey, which yields estimates in the neighborhood of 100,000 defensive gun uses per year. Making various reasonable-sounding adjustments, other social scientists have suggested that perhaps a figure somewhere between 250,000 and 370,000 might be more accurate.

I find it hilarious that antigunners tout your nation as this great victory for gun control despite the fact that it is the perfect example of exactly how useless and impotent gun control is IF(a very big if for antigunners) you actually look at the data which clearly shows that gun control did nothing to affect your crime and homicide rates.

Yes, it is.
The problem is that with 500 million guns and 300 million people in the country, those gun laws will literally never "take effect."
