I have a real problem with this statement:

In conclusion it would appear that limiting people's ability to carry concealed weapons may in fact cause murder rates to rise. Gius does admit that more research is warranted in this area.
Correlation does not equal causality.

We can't prove that a single practice or law reduces crime any more than the other side can prove that a ban does the same. There are too many other factors at play.
