Can someone kindly provide a non-biased, definitive source showing that gun control has a negative effect? All the ones posted here are from NRA or some other obviously biased source with unbacked allegations.

Timothy McVeigh is not a representative of the ordinary criminal, he was, you know, one of the worst mass murderers in US history. That's like saying all criminals have the means to fly two planes into two skyscapers. The average criminal has access to a handgun and/or a rifle. That's about it. Think of if every citizen had the means to obtain shoulder mounted rockets etc. No matter how strong our military is they will never be able to stop 300 million or so people armed with handguns and rifles. Or even 100 million. If we really need to overthrow the government, that's all we need. Anything more is superfluous.
And all rights are delegated to the people by the government. They are not above the law. Do you think people in North Korea stand up and shout "I HAVE THE INALIENABLE RIGHT TO LIBERTY"? Not a chance. Again, the Declaration of Independence is just that, a declaration. If it were in the Constitution it'd be a different story.
