Some additional gun control vs. violent crime stats.

I'm posting this information primarily due to a debate on engadget.com where a post I made was challenged as non-factual (basically I said gun control doesn't mean lower violent crime and in fact tends to increase it). All of these stats came from http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm so I'm not using biased data sources such as the NRA.

Enjoy:
