Haha, here come the feelings. Tell us how you really feel.. Seriously though. Increased crime levels with increased convenience is basic criminology, I shouldn't have to go over it. We assess the dangers, risks and amount of effort involved in commiting a crime and then act upon this assessment. Should any of these deterring aspects outweigh the prospective gain, we don't act. This is true for all our actions, not just criminal ones.
I'm not sure what you have pointed out about my "bullshit" statistics, but if you're the guy who raved about how "the population is probably a hell of a lot smaller" you shouldn't be commenting on statistics at all.
As for my remark about a "status quo" you actually wrote "[f]ewer guns doesn't work" in response to my claim that it does. While I could be wrong (hypothetically), there is nothing to suggest that you are right (or that you adhere to "common sense"). On the contrary I would say that your statement is counterintuitive and is just as much in need of evidence as mine. By your rationale creationist ideas would be proven true simply because there is no satisfying proof for evolution. It doesn't work that way.
You're not trying to reason, you're simply agitated. There is no skill involved in what you are doing. You'll notice that even though I could say that you're an idiot who doesn't know the first thing about criminology or even philosophy in general, I don't - because it would be too cheap. You on the other hand can't seem to stop being pejorative (or rather trying to be) and blurting out profanities.
