Sig, I know there was much debate when the SA was drafted, along both sides, even then, but the main work the antis rely on; Arming America, by Michael Bellisiles, was found to be totally unreliable.

As for efficacy, there is no debate that gun bans are counter-productive, while the knowledge of an armed citizenry prevents crime.
