Harvard study on less guns doesn't equal less crime and death.

This.
Also refutes the recent JAMA article that suggests US states with more gun laws have less gun crimes. But remeber to point out to anti's that JAMA study used data from the Brady Campaign score on state's laws (biased data source) and omitted gun/violence data from Washington DC and New Hampshire, Vermont and North Dakota.
One minor clarification:
Although this study was published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy Harvard JLPP, it is not a "Harvard study" in the sense that the work was not done at or paid for by Harvard. The authors are at the Pacific Research Institute in San Francisco (Kates) and Simon Fraser University in Canada (Mauser). This does nothing to diminish the findings and conclusions of the study of course.
