Over the last 30 years many things have improved the assault and homicide rates. I personally believe that trying to decrease the number of new guns of any certain style (that's style not necessarily functionality) will not have any real effect at all.

A point I've made elsewhere on another topic is that folks on either side of an issue are eager to seize on some consequence of their actions to use as evidence of success.
