Lead to more violence? Can you please provide me with a link to a study that says anything like that? I'm not trying to be difficult, but I just find it hard to believe with other examples such as Ireland and the UK for instance...

Well, the country in question is evidence in itself, as are Chicago and D.C. when it had it's total gun ban. But here are a few studies for starters:

There are 2.5 million Defensive Gun Uses annually in the U.S.

States with concealed carry laws have substantially lower violence crime.

Britain's leads the world in violent crime.
