And if they go down, I'm sure that everyone will finally accept that "more guns = less crime", right?
No, I think for someone to accept that, there would need to be boxes full of guns freely available on every corner. I assume that seems a reasonable and useful thing to do what with the deterrent factor of guns. Visibility of police forces has been concretely linked to a reduction in crime, having a police officer on every corner is an easy and viable test of that. Oddly, having secret hidden police offers crouching in closets ready to leap out and foil a crime should one occur is rarely used as a test case. Oh, right, because data exists.
