You can always find those who support the idea that firearms carried more widely has resulted in less crime, but the true concensus is this:

More guns has NOT been shown to increase crime. The position thay more guns = more crime has been pumped ad nauseum by controller/banners for years. It is NOT supported.

Glad I got the chance to clear that up.
