The largest study done that shows evidence for gun control was a study of five hand picked counties at different times, that demonstrated that crime went up. It was such a small sample that in each case the increase in crime was attributable to a single individual or gang in that jurisdiction on a continuous string of crimes. I don't recall the name of the person who did the study, but she was the person who called Prof. Lott's study 'flawed'. I know he mentions her in the back of his book.
